The STATEMENT is a technological platform in which we collect and transparently
communicate strategic information along the entire coffee value chain. It’s our commitment as a country to be leaders in technology that benefits the well-being of our coffee sector while always maintaining a harmonious relationship with the environment.
The platform is based in our 2762 Law, a unique law in the world that focuses specifically around fair relationships in coffee, which not only ensure the Fair Distribution of the FOB Coffee Dollar, but also creates a layer of traceability of our countrywide coffee production. We compliment this with robust and reliable information regarding the environmental, social, ethical and quality practices that are part of the day to day lives of
our coffee sector. We are also including digital media content (pictures, stories and videos) that our coffee farmers, mills and exporters are excited to be able to share.
This information is collected via an App called the CR-CAFÉ that is a Costa Rican Made tool directed towards coffee farmers and mills, that gives them extensive agronomical assistance and direct contact with agronomists. Having all this information also means having Big Data at the Coffee Institute of Costa Rica (ICAFE) that we will use in benefit of our coffee sector to improve agronomical practices, increase our productivity and We truly believe that the future of coffee lies in transparency and sharing strategic
information, and we know that this is important for you too. We hope we can count on you as a partner for the project, and that the Café de Costa Rica: Traceability & Sustainability STATEMENT can become not only a great platform for all our coffee buyers, but one that ensures the well-being of our coffee sector and the future of coffee.
