🚨 Our Report on Mexican Coffee Featured in Mexico’s Presidential Press Conference! Our report with Empower and @prodesca.c.7798 "Exploitation and Opacity: The Hidden Reality of Mexican Coffee in Nestlé and Starbucks Supply Chains," was raised at Mexico’s presidential press conference, with President Claudia Sheinbaum addressing the issue directly. Journalist Eduardo Giusseppe (Huellas de México) questioned the President about the low prices paid to Mexican coffee growers, which fail to cover production costs. In response, she outlined three key measures: 1️⃣ Fair Pricing Agreements – Government efforts to connect buyers and producers for fairer prices. 2️⃣ Café del Bienestar – A state-backed initiative ensuring direct purchases from farmers at fair prices. 3️⃣ Harvesting Sovereignty Program – A soon-to-be-announced scheme offering financial support and low-interest credit for agricultural production. 📢 The fight for fair wages and transparency in coffee supply chains continues.
