Coffee quality improvement Plan in Fine Coffee Raw Bean Market

During the recent collapse in world coffee prices, many exporting countries suffered one of the worst economic crises in years. Coffee farmers have experienced great difficulties, which has led to social problems, political and economic nature. On the other hand, consumers' demand for high-quality coffee is getting higher and higher, but the price of purchasing raw beans is lower, and many coffee farmers are unwilling to grow coffee, resulting in a reduction in the output of high-quality coffee, which has caused a great blow and pressure to the international coffee supply market. It is against this background that the International Coffee Committee adopted Resolution 399 of 24 May 2001 for the first time to encourage ICO member countries to take measures to remove defective coffee from the market, raise the harvest price of high-quality coffee raw beans, encourage coffee growing areas to grow coffee, and international coffee organizations further participate in research to improve the balance between global coffee supply and demand, participate in the elimination of low-grade coffee, and improve the quality of coffee while raising farmers' income. And then meet the export level and quality of the global coffee market.

Coffee quality improvement plan

Arabica, more than 86 defect samples per 300 grams (New York Green Coffee Classification / Brazilian method, or equivalent); and Robusta, more than 150 defects per 300 grams (Viet Nam, Indonesia or equivalent)

Arabica and Robusta, with a moisture content of less than 8% or more than 12.5%, are measured using the ISO6673 method.

CQP also envisages an alternative to the use of substandard development coffee.

CQP aims to improve the balance between supply and demand and accelerate market maturity by providing a better coffee standard. The main reason for the deterioration of quality is the decline in the output of boutique coffee production, and good understanding of boutique coffee has been mixed into inferior commercial coffee, resulting in the decline of the world coffee price and quality, and the coffee market has stopped the pace of development.
