African Coffee Excellence on the Global Stage
Diaspora businesses believe in the power of coffee as more than just a beverage; it’s a cultural connector, an economic driver, and a source of pride for millions of farmers across Africa. The mission for companies such as Ntare Consulting is to elevate African coffee producers to the global stage, empowering them to share their unique stories and showcase the richness of their coffee.
The Coffee Event Circuit: Opportunities for African Farmers
Global coffee events provide unparalleled opportunities for African coffee producers to connect with buyers, roasters, and enthusiasts. These events are more than exhibitions—they’re platforms for innovation, networking, and cultural exchange. Here's a look at the key events Ntare Consulting is targeting in 2025:
1. Africa-Focused Events
African Fine Coffees Conference & Exhibition (AFCC&E): Held in Tanzania, this is Africa’s largest coffee trade event. Ntare Consulting is working to ensure farmers from Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, and Ethiopia have access to booths, B2B meetings, and training to maximize their participation.
Africa Coffee & Tea Expo: In Kigali, Rwanda, this expo showcases the growing potential of African coffee on a continental scale. We’re partnering with local farmers to enhance their branding and storytelling skills for international buyers.
2. Global Coffee Expos
Specialty Coffee Expo (Houston, USA): As North America's largest coffee trade show, this event provides African farmers with access to some of the world’s most influential roasters and retailers. Ntare Consulting will assist with booth design, product packaging, and logistics for participants.
World of Coffee Geneva (Switzerland): European markets are increasingly recognizing the value of African specialty coffee. We’re preparing farmers to highlight their unique bean profiles and sustainable farming practices at this high-profile event.
Supporting Farmers
Our approach focuses on holistic support, from preparation to execution. Here's how we’re making it happen:
1. Farmer Readiness Programs
We conduct training sessions on:
Pitching coffee to international buyers.
Understanding pricing and contract negotiations.
Telling the story behind their coffee to attract high-value buyers.
2. Logistics and Export Assistance
Ntare Consulting simplifies the process of getting coffee from farm to market by:
Handling paperwork for international trade.
Arranging shipments to ensure on-time delivery.
Coordinating with event organizers to set up exhibition booths.
3. Branding and Marketing Support
We help farmers create compelling brands by:
Designing eye-catching packaging that reflects their story.
Developing marketing materials such as brochures, videos, and social media campaigns.
Connecting them with professional photographers and videographers to showcase their farms.
4. Promoting Coffee Tourism
In collaboration with our tourism and travel wing, we integrate coffee tourism into the global MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) sector. We organize fam trips for international buyers to visit African coffee farms, experiencing firsthand the care and dedication that goes into producing world-class coffee. These tours enhance buyer appreciation and forge lasting relationships.
Why This Matters
By facilitating African farmers' participation in these events, we are not only promoting their coffee but also:
Supporting sustainable farming practices.
Creating jobs and improving livelihoods in coffee-producing regions.
Raising the global profile of African coffee as a premium product.
