There is no Sustainability without traceability
Strong consumer demand for sustainable products is driving the introduction and expansion of sustainably and responsibly produced and sourced coffee. The attractiveness of sustainable coffee gives market players a competitive benefit and last but not least, it leads to better margins throughout the supply chain. It is crucial for roasters and retailers to be able to show the exact origin of their coffee and thus proving their corporate social responsibility.The International Coffee Organization (ICO) sets the standards for labeling coffee bags. The standard labels are called “marks” and they are stenciled onto the bag or printed on a sewn-in label. There are three groups of characters in the ICO labeling system: the first is a country code, the second is the producer or exporter’s number, and the last is the lot number for that particular producer or exporter. Lot numbers are sequential and start over each harvest year. The traditional ICO Marks are insufficient for high-value coffee because they carry no information as to the type of coffee, it’s detailed origin, or its quality.
There is a need to identity on the labels the origin of the coffee in the bag as well as the process used to process the coffee and a physical description of the coffee. The bar code and labels on all Terruño Nayarita Coffee track coffee from each grower to our customer. The labels uniquely identify each bag and its content and the labels are sewn into the bags as they are sealed at the dry mill. The information database is accessible by the public at www.trackyourcoffee.com.
