2024 Coffee Farming Thriving Index

The 2024 Coffee Farming Thriving Index (Jan. 2025) presents findings from research with more than 1,000 coffee farmers in Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The study asked a simple question: are farmers in coffee supply chains thriving, or merely surviving?

The index provides a standardised and holistic measure of farmer wellbeing, covering living standards, food security, resilience, and outlook on coffee farming. Insights are based on interviews with a panel of farmers in Uganda and members of nine cooperatives across the three countries.
