Historically, the coffee supply chain has The Pursuit of Truly Ethical been long and complex with a number of Coffee people involved working in systems that were often put in place during colonialism or just after independence. These systems Written by Holly Kragiopoulos from North Star were created to continue passing value to Coffee the consumer as opposed to the producer and are answerable for the existing What is Ethical Coffee? manner in which coffee is traded. Despite huge growth and interest in responsible consumer habits, it seems that now more than ever we have greater Before I talk about what we deem to be confusion about what this phrase really means. Given the ethical procurement, it seems important to rise of various certification schemes and approaches along first discuss how we have reached this with the complexities of true sustainability, this is totally point in our industry to understand the understandable.There is a problem with this though when different options on offer. This is consumers end up standing by certain certification particularly relevant given the appalling schemes or logos, when in many cases these systems do state of the world coffee market (the ‘C’ not work for the coffee producer and they may benefit market) in the past 12 months which has more from a different approach.

Excessive rainfall, drought and a rise in pests and disease have impacted recent harvests dramatically which increase the costs of production even further. We cannot continue to benchmark the prices we pay for coffee against the prices we paid 20-30 years ago. Looking beyond the question of whether or not it is specialty grade, this price is not even adapted to take into account inflation and increased costs of farming inputs. This mechanism continues to prioritise the buyer and not the producer and it is not in keeping with the principles of sustainability. Times are changing and it is time our approach to coffee procurement did too on a global The ‘C’ market was established in 1882 and in the 20th century, it was adapted scale if we still want to be buying coffee 20-30 years to stabilise prices to assist with and enable the growth of corporate global down the line. brands such as Nestle and Douwe Egberts. It is a market that operates much like any other stock market and is based on supply and demand allowing speculators to buy and sell contracts depending on which way it will go. What is often underestimated here is the staggering impact this can have on the lives of millions of coffee farmers. The world coffee crisis of the late 90s and early 2000s was proof of just how unfair this mechanism is, so much so that it is pretty unbelievable it is still in place in 2019 given the human cost of such low market levels. Like any business, coffee farming is dependent on the costs of production being met with a profit generated to be able to reinvest in the next harvest or in the farming infrastructure. This simply does not happen when the global market starts to freefall to current levels that fall way below the costs involved in producing the coffee, let alone the level needed to produce any profit.
The C Market isn't Working
Presently, the C market is not working for coffee producers and is resulting in abandonment of farms in favour of more profitable crops such as maize and commonly heroin or coca. Commercial grade coffee is generally purchased using this mechanism and ensures that companies are able to buy low and sell high at the detriment of the millions of smallholder farmers and their families across the globe. Further volatility in coffee production exists due to the growing impact of climate change which is really starting to make its presence felt in most coffee growing regions that sit between the Tropics.

How does this system relate to the coffee bought and sold by North Star?
The global industry is split into coffee that is either specialty or non-specialty (commercial). Specialty grade coffee makes up just 4- 5% of total production and it requires very specific growing conditions and approaches to attain this quality. The literal definition of specialty grade coffee is coffee that has scored over 80 out of 100 on the SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America) cupping form for attributes such as flavour, body, acidity, aftertaste, balance, uniformity, cleanliness and sweetness.
This definition means specialty grade coffee is analysed purely on its cup qualities and cleanliness of the raw product. There is no specification on how it must be produced when it comes to social and environmental responsibility and there is no instruction on how it should be priced and purchased. The result of this is that a coffee can be classed as specialty grade and still be produced in a manner that does not respect the people or environment growing it, or purchased in a manner that does not recognise its true value exploiting the producer. It is not enough to just purchase specialty grade coffee and assume that ethics have been a vital part of this transaction, it is sadly more complex than that.
For all of the coffees we purchase, we set an outright price that is totally divorced from the global C market. This presents complications in terms of determining a starting point but it allows the price paid to be dictated by the potential cup quality presented by the coffee in terms of what we can sell for. The starting point has to be to review the costs of production (which are not fixed and slide year on year dependent on yield/factors at play in each producing region) and then to include a margin that represents the quality of the coffee and allows coffee farming to be profitable for the producer. In many cases, this profit is needed to provide the basics for living such as healthcare, food and shelter – let alone education or re-investment back into the farm. The trips we make to visit our producing partners are vital in having these conversations and in getting to grips with their costs and challenges.
This system ensures that we are able to work directly with coffee producers and exporters to maintain real transparency and trust, enabling us to forge lasting relationships to have a truly positive impact in our business practices. Paying an outright price is just the start though, depending on the type of producer this can either be a smallholder farmer operating individually or as part of a cooperative or it can be direct to an estate owner who is then employing 300-500 pickers as a migratory workforce during the harvest season. If the latter, what good is it paying a profitable price if the benefits of that ethical approach do not cascade down to everyone working on the farm. Whilst an outright price may have been negotiated directly with the farm owner, there is no guarantee that the benefits of this responsible purchase have filtered through to the farm workers. There are farms I have visited across Central America that have featured in Cup of Excellence competitions (and have therefore been recognised for the quality of coffee they produce) that have had some of the worst conditions for their staff and are not necessarily adopting responsible growing techniques.

As a consumer, it is also important to fully appreciate that sustainable practices must be taken into account from the start to the end of the supply chain – this means all of us have a responsibility to be accountable for how we are consuming our favourite products and how we are taking ownership for the environmental impact of our consumer behaviour.

Face Coverings Mandatory from 24th July The Government has published new regulations and official guidance for face coverings. Face masks are to be worn in a shop, supermarket, shopping centre and transport hubs in England from Friday 24 July. The guidance confirms that if a shop or supermarket has a café or seating area for you to eat and drink, then you can remove your face covering in this area only. You must put a face covering back on once you leave your seating area. If you are in a cafe or takeaway restaurant that does not provide table service, you must wear a face covering unless you are in a designated seated area. For absolute clarity, this means that when entering a takeaway, customers must be wearing face masks and should only remove them if they sit down to eatPremises offering table service are exempt from the regulations as are restaurants, pubs and gyms. Earlier press briefings suggesting counter service would be banned, have also not been taken forward. It will be compulsory to wear a face covering when buying food and drink to take away from cafes and shops.Face coverings will not be mandatory for anyone under the age of 11, those with disabilities or certain health conditions, such as respiratory or cognitive impairments that make it difficult for them to wear a face covering.

Read on for the opinion of Lloyd Burgess, the founder of online speciality coffee supplier, The Coffee Roasters on what we can expect to see as the country’s cafes reopen. Page 10 www.beveragestandardsassociation.co.uk

What this has allowed people to discover is that there is a huge variety of coffee available in the UK from artisan roasters which allow great quality coffee to be enjoyed at home, as well as in the coffee shops. What’s more, with most of us staying in and working from home, more of us have time to experiment and enjoy home-brewed coffee as part of the slower pace of life.
Having spoken with several UK roasters recently, they have all seen a dramatic increase in the number of online sales of coffee as people switch from buying coffee in a cafe to buying beans to use at home. We have also seen on our own site, The Coffee Roasters an increase in sales of almost 100% and a huge increase in visits to our directory of UK coffee roasters, which lists over 400 artisan roasters based in the UK, supporting the idea that more people are interested in finding local speciality coffee roasters.
Returning to normal - What can we expect?
Although many have discovered that great coffee can be enjoyed at home, people will return to coffee shops for the social aspect of enjoying a coffee in the hustle and bustle environment of a busy cafe and to enjoy the aspects of life that haven’t been allowed during the lockdown. Page 11 www.beveragestandardsassociation.co.uk

However, the typical cafe will need to adapt to meet the government guidelines for reopening. Instead of busy seating areas and social areas, there will be social distancing rules in place and there’s likely to be increased outside seating to increase capacity.
The discovery of premium coffee online means there is a possibility that less will visit cafes solely to get great coffee. This has the potential to have a massive hit on revenue for bricks and mortar coffee suppliers. As such, many have taken the opportunity during closure to adapt to meet the demands in the market, with As such, more coffee is likely to be many ramping up their online presence and enjoyed from home post now experiencing the majority of their coronavirus, with many coffee income through online purchases. shops continuing their ecommerce operation alongside the bricks-and- The future of cafe culture: mortar cafe.

As such, more coffee is likely to be enjoyed from home post coronavirus, with many coffee shops continuing their ecommerce operation alongside the bricks-and-mortar cafe.
The increased interest in different coffee will mean that—when people do visit cafes—they will want to know more about the coffee they are drinking and more adventurous with what they choose to drink. Cafes and coffee shops need to ensure they adapt to this change in consumer demand to retain business, so should aim to provide a greater variety of coffee and offer more information about the origins, flavour profiles, roasting and brewing.
As people look forward to getting out and being social again, the most important thing for cafes and coffee shops is to ensure the safety of everyone visiting and working on their premises. Cafes need to adapt the way they operate to follow the government's guidelines to the letter at all times, and for this, preparation is key.
