Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) is a non-profit organization working internationally since 1996 to improve the quality of coffee and the lives of people who produce it. Many green coffee producers do not have access to the tools and support they need to understand the quality of their coffee, improve that quality, access markets that reward that quality, and then develop their businesses by making more informed business choices. In this context, the CQI: promotes a common language of quality, provides technical services, creates a global network of experts and promote cooperation.
