In response to the growth in the number of coffees with geographical indications in Brazil, producers from 14 regions came together to found the Institute of Coffee Producing Regions of Brazil with Geographical Indications.
The Institute’s project is based on the development of a platform, called “Origem Controlada Café”, which will track and manage the coffees with geographical indications from these 14 regions and should be launched by the end of 2024.
In addition, the institute aim to establish an integrated communication strategy between the regions, as well as to strengthen the governance structure., protecting regions with Geographic Indications.
The creation of this institute is very positive, given that several coffee-producing regions are investing in recognizing areas with a geographical indication in order to reach new markets, socio-environmental practices, as well as increasing the added value of their products.
Currently, only these 14 regions are recognized as having a geographical indication, of which only 5 have a designation of origin and 9 have a designation of quality.
The creation of this institute proves and enhances the value of specialty coffee with geographical indications, guaranteeing its protection and putting the producer at the head of the business, becoming an excellent incentive for outside investors.
