      Bogot\u00e1, Colombia<\/strong> – Starbucks and the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation (FNC) announced a\u00a0new program\u00a0to support Colombian coffee growers\u00a0in the\u00a0Starbucks C.A.F.\u00c9. Practices\u00a0network,\u00a0through the donation and distribution\u00a0of 23 million coffee seedlings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      The program builds on a ten-year partnership between Starbucks and the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation and\u00a0aims to help farmers improve both quality and profitability of their crops\u00a0through coffee tree replenishment, with Starbucks contributing up to USD 3 million, positively impacting thousands of coffee-growing families in Colombia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      Working hand-in-hand with farmers in the field, the local Starbucks Farmer Support Center (FSC) and the FNC representatives will oversee the project, which includes technical assistance, such as virtual training and field visits to farmers for planting of the seedlings and recommendations for renovation of coffee plantations.\u00a0More than 12,000 Colombian coffee growers in\u00a011\u00a0departments across the country will benefit from\u00a0this project.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      The allocation of the first batch of coffee seedlings will take place in early 2021 and will continue until the end of 2022 as part of the agreement\u00a0between Starbucks and FNC.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      \u201cAt Starbucks, as we aspire to ensure a sustainable future of coffee for all, we are dedicated to supporting our farmers to improve their lives and livelihoods, working hand-in-hand to address the most pressing challenges they face, while also protecting the environment,\u201d said Michelle Burns,\u00a0senior vice president\u00a0Global Coffee, Tea and Cocoa at Starbucks. \u201cThis tree renovation project is a key pillar in the long-term prosperity of farmers, as replacing decaying or aging trees will help increase their productivity, quality and yield, thus increasing their earning potential. It also promotes environmental sustainability, ensuring farmers are best optimizing their existing land rather than relocating their farms and encroaching into forests.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      We aim to distribute\u00a0seedlings\u00a0to coffee farmers\u00a0who are\u00a0part of Starbucks C.A.F.E. Practices\u00a0in Antioquia, Caldas, Cauca, Huila, Nari\u00f1o, Norte de Santander, Santander, Quind\u00edo, Risaralda, Tolima, and Valle\u00a0del Cauca.\u00a0Starbucks C.A.F.E. Practices, is a verification program created in 2004 that measures coffee farms on 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      Building on\u202fnearly five\u00a0decades of sourcing,\u00a0roasting and serving Colombian coffee worldwide, Starbucks has been working\u00a0alongside\u00a0Colombian coffee growers to support their well-being, their families, and their communities while ensuring a sustainable supply of high-quality coffee.\u00a0In\u00a02012, the company opened\u00a0its fifth\u00a0Farmer Support Center\u00a0worldwide,\u00a0located in Manizales. To date, more than 110,000 Colombian coffee growers have benefited from the local Farmer Support Center\u2019s work through trainings, tools, and information shared to help them increase productivity and quality of coffee on their farms.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      “We know our Starbucks partners and customers care about where their coffee comes\u00a0from<\/em>,” said Ricardo Rico, vice president and general manager of Starbucks, Latin America and Caribbean. “With Colombia as such an important coffee sourcing region, it is partnerships and initiatives like this that are contributing to the long-term success for both people and planet and help build pride and loyalty for the Starbucks brand<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      Whether\u00a0seeking to foster development of new coffee farms, helping farmers become more profitable or\u00a0reducing coffee\u2019s impact on the environment, Starbucks will continue using its scale for good as it works together with other organizations to\u00a0work towards\u00a0a sustainable\u00a0coffee\u00a0future for all.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n
