Riestra Piña said that once again in Puebla all the links of the value chain in the coffee industry for Mexico and Latin America will meet.

Experts will analyze the challenges of coffee growing worldwide and issues such as the organization of producers, their access to financing, purchase of inputs, as well as the coffee market and its commercialization in order to position their brands.

He explained that during the realization of the Latin American Coffee Summit, 10 agricultural agreements will be signed by contract between ten of the main companies that integrated the National Association of the Coffee Industry (ANICAFÉ, for its acronym in Spanish) and Puebla producers, which projects an economic benefit of 586 million pesos.

For her part, Luz María Osuna Delgado, director of the Latin American Coffee Summit 2018, highlighted that among the novelties of this edition, is the realization of a youth forum for the coffee sector, in order to promote agribusiness as an alternative empowerment among the new generations.

As well as training producers, processors, roasters and marketers to increase the profitability and productivity of their businesses.
