🌍☕ Happy International Coffee Day! Today, we celebrate coffee – a humble beverage that connects people across continents, cultures, and generations. From the farmers who nurture the trees, to the traders, roasters, and baristas who bring coffee to our cups, this value chain is truly global and deeply human. At the Swiss Coffee Trade Association (SCTA), we are proud to represent the green coffee trade at the heart of this journey. The trade builds the bridge between origin and market, ensuring that coffee flows smoothly across borders, supporting livelihoods, and fueling sustainable growth in producing and consuming countries alike. As we mark this day, we are reminded of coffee’s diversity, resilience, and its power to bring us together. The challenges ahead – from climate change to regulation – are real, but so too are the opportunities for innovation and progress when our sector works with one voice. Here’s to coffee – not just as a beverage, but as a force for connection, resilience, and positive change. #InternationalCoffeeDay #Coffee #SCTA #Sustainability #Trade

We’re looking forward to the conversations in Basel, where industry leaders, innovators, and the coffee community will come together under this year’s theme: Unity in Complexity – Building a Smart & Connected Future #CoffeeTrade #Logistics #SupplyChain #Sustainability #Innovation #GreenCoffee #CoffeeIndustry #SCTAForum2025 #UnityInComplexity
