USAID is an organization you may not have heard of until recent weeks, when it became a political flashpoint and the subject of breathless headlines in newspapers all over the world. CQI has been a proud partner of USAID for more than 20 years. Since 2003, we have implemented hundreds of activities on USAID-funded projects in 30 coffee-growing countries around the world as part of our mission to improve the quality of coffee and the lives of the people who produce it. The suspension of USAID activity has already made itself felt in the places where coffee is grown. A permanent closure of the agency would be an immeasurable loss for the sector.
Since the Specialty Coffee Association announced recently that it is moving to a new system of coffee evaluation based on the Coffee Value Assessment form, or CVA, we have gotten questions about what this news means for CQI’s work and community. This resource is designed to answer the most common questions we have been asked.
