We respect farmers by helping them to plant and grow healthier, disease-resistant coffee trees, which produce higher yields and better quality coffee beans.
Bringing coffee to China
Our pioneering agronomist, Jan De Smet convinced us that coffee could grow in the land of tea. With his know-how and a group of innovative Chinese farmers, we made it happen. Now 15,000 farming families are producing delicious Arabica coffee in the Yunnan province.

Three amigos grow better trees
Jose, Fernando and Andrea, scientists at our NESCAFÉ R&D Farm in Mexico, have spent 20 years developing the ultimate coffee super-tree. It naturally fights disease, is less thirsty, and produces super juicy coffee beans too. Nice work amigos!

Same space, more trees
NESCAFÉ produces plantlets that enhance tree density, so that less land space is used. With more trees being able to grow on the same area of land, coffee farmers in Indonesia are able to get 30% better yield and also reduce costs. Win, win.
