October 1, 2024

1 October is International Coffee Day. Celebrate with the 77 Member States of the ICO and dozens of coffee associations from around the world.

International Coffee Day is a celebration of the coffee sector’s diversity, quality and passion. It is an opportunity for coffee lovers to share their love of the beverage and support the millions of farmers whose livelihoods depend on the aromatic crop.

Many countries around the world celebrate their own national coffee days at various dates throughout the year. In March 2014, the Member States of the ICO agreed to organize International Coffee Day on 1 October to create a single day of celebration for coffee lovers around the world.

On International Coffee Day 2024, the International Coffee Organization Invites the Coffee Sector to Embrace Collaboration for Collective Action with the Message: ‘Coffee, Your Daily Ritual, Our Shared Journey”

In 2023, the International Coffee Organization (ICO) launched the #CoffeePeople campaign in partnership with ILO (International Labour Organization), a collaborative effort aimed at promoting safer and healthier working conditions for coffee workers globally.

The campaign, officially launched on International Coffee Day (1 October 2023), was embraced by the International Coffee Organization (ICO), with its Council designating “Joining forces for a safer coffee supply chain” as the official theme of its 2023 promotional activities.

𝗞𝗘𝗬 𝗠𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗦

The campaign emphasized several key messages:

1. Every coffee worker deserves a safe and healthy workplace.

2. Work-related injuries and diseases in coffee production are preventable.

3. Safe working conditions are essential for decent work.

4. Recognizing gender perspectives is crucial, given that 70% of coffee labourers are women.

5. Collective action and social dialogue are necessary to find solutions.
