The Nescafé Plan embodies our unwavering commitment to help secure the future of coffee
Nescafé, Nestlé’s largest coffee brand and one of the world’s favourite coffees, publishes today its second Nescafé Plan 2030 Progress Report. The report shows the increased adoption of regenerative agriculture practices, contributing to improved farm yield, and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
In 2023, over 20 per cent of Nescafé’s coffee was sourced from farmers implementing regenerative agriculture practices. This data is based on the monitoring and impact assessment provided by the Rainforest Alliance, across farmer groups in 11 coffee origins, from where Nescafé sources its coffee. As a result, farmers in countries such as Honduras, India, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam achieved a 5 per cent to 25 per cent increase in coffee productivity per hectare compared to 2022. Key practices that contributed to this increase included optimised fertilisation and mulching. The implementation of these practices also led to a reduction in GHG emissions per kilogram of coffee, ranging from 15 per cent to 30 per cent. In 2023, the Nescafé Plan distributed 21 million coffee plantlets to farmers to help renovate and rejuvenate coffee plots and improve productivity, in coffee-origin countries.
Philipp Navratil, Head of Nestlé’s Coffee Strategic Business Unit, said: “The Nescafé Plan embodies our unwavering commitment to help secure the future of coffee. This is at the heart of Nescafé. This second progress report is a testimony to the work we do every day on the ground with our partners, suppliers, and farmers, in the regions from where we source our coffee, and it motivates us even more to continue our efforts.”
