SCA, an authoritative association of boutique coffee, take the lead in sanctions? Russia is banned from participating in the coffee competition!
On March 1, 2022, Yannis Apostolopoulos, CEO of the Fine Coffee Association Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), issued a statement on the official website and Instagram on "SCA's position of solidarity with Ukraine".

The statement said: the boutique coffee association will unite with the Ukrainian coffee community, whose homeland (Ukraine) has been attacked by Russia in the past few days. We (SCA) strongly condemn the Russian regime's invasion of Ukraine and the violence and displacement caused. The board of directors of SCA held a special meeting yesterday to find ways to support members of the Ukrainian coffee community. We (SCA) also spoke directly with the leadership of Ukraine's SCA chapter to express our (SCA) solidarity and commitment to helping them through this senseless war. SCA will donate 100% of the ticket revenue from the World Coffee Fair in Warsaw, which will be held on June 23rd, 2022, to support / support Ukrainian coffee companies and coffee professionals. We (SCA) also made a difficult decision to suspend Russia from participating in the World Coffee Championships. The European coffee community has also quickly adopted innovative ways to support the Ukrainian coffee community. The Russian coffee community (community) also called for peaceful opposition to secession and expressed solidarity with the Ukrainian coffee community (community). We will work with the local (Ukraine) SCA chapter and other partners to share resources on our (SCA) Instagram for displaced Ukrainian coffee drinkers and those from around the world who are willing to support this operation.

On March 3, Instagram, the official Instagram, said that SCA Poland and the SCA Czech Republic are working together to help displaced Ukrainian coffee workers find jobs in other countries.

Every day since then, SCA's official Instagram has been sending messages to those in need (people in the Ukrainian coffee industry) and those around the world who are willing to provide support.

On March 4, the Russian Satellite Communications Chinese Network quoted Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zakharovaa as saying: "the illegal restrictions imposed by the West on the international humanities are not only beyond the scope of international law, but also direct discrimination against ordinary people." Sanctions relating to the free movement of persons, the freedom of expression of public opinion, the use of cultural information and achievements, as well as sanctions that restrict cultural and sports cooperation and personnel contact are totally unacceptable.

The Fine Coffee Association is a non-profit membership organization that represents thousands of coffee professionals, from producers around the world to baristas. Based on the power of openness, inclusiveness and knowledge sharing, we nurture global coffee communities and support activities to make boutique coffee a prosperous, fair and sustainable activity throughout the value chain.
