2024 Coffee Farming Thriving Index

2024 Coffee Farming Thriving Index is the result of research conducted by 60 Decibels having spoken to thousands of coffee farmers in Uganda, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo to answer a simple question: are farmers in coffee supply chains thriving, or barely surviving?

The index is a standardised and holistic measure of farmer wellbeing, covering the themes of living standards, food security, resilience and outlook on coffee farming.

The insights come from speaking to a panel of over 1,000 coffee farmers in Uganda, as well as a subsample of members of four cooperatives in Uganda, four cooperatives in Rwanda and one cooperative in Democratic Republic of Congo.
