Successful days in Portugal! 🇵🇹 On the third day of her trip, our colleague Kerstin Houf spent valuable time in Porto. There she took part in important business meetings and expanded her knowledge of the rich history of Portuguese wine. 🍷 The direct exchange on site is invaluable. Maintaining international business contacts in person and understanding the cultural characteristics of the countries is crucial to our success and the successful planning of our trade fair. Such trips offer more than just business benefits - they provide deeper insights, promote intercultural dialogue and strengthen relationships with our international partners. In a globally networked world, it is essential to have a local presence and to know the stories behind the products. We are convinced that this approach leads to better business results and stronger partnerships in the long term. It's more than just business! #portugalwein #prowein2025 #cheersprowein #prowein #proweintradefair #winebusiness #wineprofessionals #winetasting #wineshop #winetrends #tradefair #winetrade #winecommunity #winetradefair #overseas #international #internationalexhibitors #exhibitors

Emilio J Bonnet M. from Perfect Daily Grind spoke with Eduardo Choza, Director of Coffee at Mayorga Coffee and the 2024 US Coffee Roasting Champion, about why diversity and inclusivity are crucial at coffee competitions. PRF aligns with this vision, which is why we bring a global coffee event to producing countries in Latin America. This first-ever PRF Farm Summit, taking place on October 17 and 18 in Santander, Colombia, will feature competitions, including the Global Coffee Roasting Contest, Cold Brew Coffee Championship, Fine Cacao Championship, and the Soil of Excellence Championship, with local competitors from all over Latin America. Events like PRF foster inclusivity, diversity, and accessibility in high-level competitions, breaking down barriers for coffee professionals.

🤩 We're proud to announce that Ghent was selected to join the Urban Agenda for the EU (UAEU) thematic partnership on Food.

Impact Finance is looking forward to participate to the coming World Coffee Summit in London: discussing sustainability and impact in the coffee value chain is of utmost importance in this value chain so crucial for millions of smallholder farmers in developing countries. We will share some of the great investments (Peraltacoffees S.A. in Nicaragua and Vides 58 in Honduras) we have done in coffee, and how we have progressively focused our investment on specialty coffees and particularly on "coffees with a story to tell", as the fair trade and organic certifications slowly have lost attractiveness and have become the norm. #impactinvesting, #sustainablefinance, #positiveimpact, #specialtycoffee, #regenerativebusiness, #sdg13, #sdg1, #sdg8, World Coffee Alliance https://lnkd.in/e5XabeXT

Associação Comercial de Santos will be holding the XXIV - Santos International Coffee Seminar in Santos – SP (21st and 23rd at the Blue Med Convention Center). It will be an honor, as a representative of Cecafé - Conselho dos Exportadores de Café do Brasil to be on panel “The new coffee trade flow scenario in times of ESG - social and environmental governance”, among the main coffee organizations in Europe, United States, and representatives from European Commission, with a deep debate on the new EUDR – Deforestation Free Regulation. The Santos International Coffee Seminar is a biennial event brings together producers, cooperatives, sellers and buyers, exporters, traders, research specialists, logistics, equipment and services providers, as well as sea transportion companies involved in the rich coffee production chain around the world to discuss the main issues, challenges and trends in the sector. In 2024 we will start a new cycle bringing this great and remarkable event to the city of Santos, considering that, for 50 years, since its beginning in 1972. Holding it in Santos gives us a new and important connection (the history and magnitude of coffee for the city and the port) and, mainly, with the trajectory of ACS itself, which has coffee as the common link and the bases of its origin and action. In the 2024 edition, the year in which the ACS’s building celebrates its first centenary, it will spread the coffee atmosphere throughout the city, turning it as na important coffee-based center of attention.
