In this episode of The Daily Coffee Pro, Lee and Miguel explore the ICO's role and legitimacy.
Miguel explains that the ICO, an intergovernmental body, derives its legitimacy from member governments representing both producing and consuming countries.
The conversation highlights the ICO's mission to foster a sustainable coffee sector and its initiatives like the Coffee Public Private Task Force, which addresses living income and climate challenges among coffee producers.
The discussion also covers ICO's funding, its unique convening power, and how it connects with private sector companies.
