1. Background and Project Overview
The Asia-Pacific region is home to diverse coffee-growing landscapes, varieties, production systems and distinctive Fairtrade coffee profiles. From the high-altitude coffee plantations of Araku in Andhra Pradesh to the specialty Arabica and Robusta varieties of Karnataka and the distinctive Fine Robusta and Monsoon Malabar coffees of Kerala, the region offers a wide range of products with unique origin characteristics and commercial potential.
 
Fairtrade Network of Asia and Pacific Producers (Fairtrade NAPP) seeks to strengthen the visibility, market positioning and commercial potential of Fairtrade-certified coffee from the Asia-Pacific region.

  5. Showcase the quality and commercial attributes of Indian coffee, including cupping scores, flavour profiles, aroma, acidity, body and other relevant sensory characteristics, wherever available and verified.
  6. Highlight good agricultural practices, sustainable farming methods and quality management practices followed by producer organisations and farmers and other Fairtrade commercial value proposition for buyers such as EUDR ready, organic farming etc.
  7. Capture authentic farmer and producer organisation perspectives through short interviews and field interactions.
  8. Create high-quality commercial promotional content that attracts international coffee buyers, roasters, importers and potential business partners.
  9. Develop a comprehensive, categorised library of professional photographs and raw video footage for future marketing and promotional requirements.
  10. Produce multiple promotional formats suitable for websites, social media, trade fairs, buyer presentations and other marketing channels.
