International Coffee Day

International Coffee Day is observed every year on October 1st. The day is dedicated to celebrating the love and enjoyment of coffee and promoting awareness about the coffee industry’s social, economic, and environmental impact.

International Coffee Day was first established in 2015 by the International Coffee Organization (ICO), a global organization that promotes the sustainable growth of the coffee industry. The day aims to raise awareness about the importance of fair trade practices and sustainable coffee production and consumption.

On International Coffee Day, various events and activities are organized around the world to celebrate coffee and its cultural significance. This may include coffee tastings, workshops, and exhibitions, as well as social media campaigns and fundraising initiatives for coffee-related causes.

The coffee industry is a major global economic driver, providing jobs and income for millions of people worldwide. However, the industry also faces various challenges, including climate change, price volatility, and labour issues. International Coffee Day seeks to promote awareness about these challenges and to encourage consumers to make more informed choices about their coffee consumption.

International Coffee Day is a time to celebrate the joy and community that coffee brings to our lives, while also recognizing the social and environmental impact of the coffee industry.
