Abstract

Title: Coffee quality. Why bother?

The high economic value of coffee indicates the importance of this cash crop to the livelihood of people, especially in the producing countries, which are mostly the developing nations with low to middle income level. Major challenges encountered by coffee producing nations are in productivity and quality inconsistency. Therefore, besides improving productivity through a better coffee farming system, seeking for a new potential coffee species or varieties, and other measures, the improvement of coffee quality is important. Quality is one reason that drives people to drink coffee. The framework on improving coffee quality encompasses series of steps and management strategies involving available resources. The first key point is the understanding on coffee quality that can be achieved such as through educating and supporting coffee-related community. Another way is through innovation on the coffee processing steps from farm to cup.

Keywords: Coffee, quality, management
