Project and Partners
Each day about 2 billion cups of coffee are consumed around the world. Yet this is produced by millions of smallholder farm households who struggle to make a living, face problems of low production and that have limited access to markets and finance.
We believe that there are ways to secure an honest income for small farm households and to preserve ecosystems while keeping up with market demands.
Why Beyco Auctions?
Supported by Progreso and V-Auction from Vollers Group, our auction events aim to provide farmers with a platform to showcase their coffee production to a global market.
We believe that there are ways to secure an honest income for small farm households and to preserve ecosystems while keeping up with market demands. Our long-term goal is to strengthen weak producer organizations to enable them to run their organizations as professional and sustainable businesses and sell high quality coffee and cocoa.
