What to expect for 2025 AFCA
After the 2024 AFCA wrap-up published last week, one must start wondering:
what can we expect for AFCA 2025?
While prices have been riding high lately, local producers and exporters are still facing challenges in growing and scaling their business.
First, by February, 2025, we'll know for sure whether African coffee supply chains are hitting their EUDR compliance goals and if roasters managed to secure steady bean supplies.
And there is more to it! Specialty Coffee Association 's new coffee value assessment is shaking things up, pushing for a broader view on how we value and price green coffee. That means big changes in how prices are negotiated.
Moreover, the meteoric rise of local coffee business in producing countries is not only creating new career avenues for youth but also fostering potential future investments in coffee farming.
These are some of the pivotal shifts we're expecting in 2025 at Vuna.
