A little about Illy Coffee. 

The illycaffè group sells a single blend of 100% Arabica coffee, with packs dedicated to the three places and moments of coffee consumption: bars, and also hotels and restaurants homes, via stores and supermarkets offices, via agents and distributors.

Illy Coffee and Fair Trade

Behind illycaffè’s commitment to sustainable development lies its unwavering search for quality, pursued throughout the coffee journey, from bean to cup. And the better, more appreciated, and desired coffee in the cup is, the greater the resources and the opportunities for development and growth in the countries growing it. This is why illycaffè believes sustainability affects the whole production process and everything contributing to it: lands, people, environment and technology. Both in the producing countries and in Trieste.

Illy Coffee Sustainability

It begins with the countries that produce green coffee, where illycaffè works directly with the growers, passing on its know-how, helping to improve cultivation, purchasing the coffee and rewarding a commitment to quality. This collaboration involves the individual growers, but often strengthens entire production systems with long-term investments ensuring lasting growth.

It continues in Trieste, where coffee production machinery and methods are constantly improved to steadily reduce the environmental impact. Knowledge acquired through the laboratories and collaboration with universities and research centers is transferred back to coffee producing countries in the shape of new techniques for sustainable farming.

Illy Investment for the Future

For the quality of green coffee in the countries of origin to steadily improve, the growers’ standards of living must also steadily improve, and the growers must feel confident that they will receive a stable income.

This is why illycaffè always guarantees a minimum purchase price for coffee, even when international green coffee pricing is low on the open market.

Illy Fair Coffee Margins 

The price paid by illycaffè is calculated on the basis of the country of origin, the type of market, the product quality, the production costs, and on the international stock market (NYC), to which a fair margin is added. This repays the producers for the utmost care they have taken with their crops and guarantees them an income despite market vacillations.
