This resource is part of AgriFin’s collection of value chain and market assessment tools that help financial institutions better understand the specificities of the agricultural sectors in which their borrowers operate. This paper considers the global coffee supply chain and the actors operating within it, and demonstrates, through the use of selected case studies, how collaborative feforts by actors and stakeholders can improve risk management and access to finance. The additional materials provide a detailed overview of the global supply chains in the coffee sector, constraints and issues impacting extension services, and overviews of production and marketing risks in the coffee sector.
