Support for Farmers
Behind a great cup of coffee are farmers all over the world who provide us with the greatest beans. We currently operate Farmer Support Centers in major coffee-producing regions in the world, with Starbucks agronomists sharing best practices to improve the quality of the crop, enhance its profitability and the lives of future generations of coffee farmers.
We take an ethical sourcing approach via the Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) Practices to buying coffee from the hundreds of thousands of farmers that we work with globally. C.A.F.E. Practices is a verification program that measures farms against economic, social and environmental criteria, all designed to promote transparent, profitable and sustainable coffee growing practices while also protecting the well-being of coffee farmers, workers, their families and their communities.
