On the second Field Trip to India A Solution for Tracebility was set up along with the Coffee Board of India, Small Coffee Growers producing non-specialty coffee and Larger Plantation Owners producing specialty coffee. The solution consisted of allowing small growers an opportunity to enter the traceable specialty coffee market with, feasibly, better returns and while, as entrants into this market, an opportunity to bargain for better prices from the buyers along the value chain.
This filed trip also established the criteria as in categories, parameters incdicators that need to be highlighted for the development and deployment of traceability technology.
