WCR is seeking the services of a professional team to develop two training manuals for a Nursery Development Program, which will operate in several coffee producing countries globally. The Nursery Development Program is aimed at strengthening the capacity of small entrepreneurial and cooperative nurseries and seed producers to produce adequate volumes of genetically pure and healthy seedlings. A main component of the Program will be a comprehensive training for seed producers and nurseries based on WCR Verified℠ nursery standards and good nursery and seed production practices.

This month, WCR will join the global coffee community in Amsterdam for the World of Coffee event. While we’re in Europe, we’re going to stop in various cities to get to know their coffee communities and share a little about what we do and how it connects to the future of coffee production. We’re calling it the UK Roadshow, and it starts June 12 in London. Read on for a full list of events.

In its new article “A Strong Start,” Global Coffee Report looks at World Coffee Research’s activities and impact since our founding in March 2012. The article tracks how WCR has brought together the industry in the last five years to support and collaborate on activities that strengthen coffee farmers and support sustainable coffee production. “As we grow, we are going to continue to do everything we can to make sure that what we do results in tangible impact for the entire sector, but especially for coffee producers,” says Tim Schilling, WCR’s founder and CEO, in the article.
