SUMMARY:Panel discussion // GISCO and SASI at ANUGA: “Living Income in Cocoa & Coffee Supply Chains: From Global Strategies to Retail Practice”
DESCRIPTION:Copyright: GIZ (left) & Clara Labartino (right)\nJoin the German Initiative on Sustainable Cocoa (GISCO) and the Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chain Initiative (SASI) at the ANUGA 2025 on October 6th\, 11:00–13:00 in Cologne\, for a panel discussion on “Living Income in Cocoa & Coffee Supply Chains: From Global Strategies to Retail Practice.” The session will gather leading stakeholders to exchange on how public policy and corporate action can align to improve smallholder incomes. The program features a keynote\, interactive panel\, and reception in the BVLH lounge. \n\nAbout the Event\nThe aim of the event is to foster exchange on current strategies\, challenges\, and success factors for promoting living incomes in global coffee and cocoa supply chains. The event intends to enable dialogue and mutual learning between actors from both sectors and discuss concrete implementation approaches – ranging from political strategy to procurement practices in the European retail sector. \nA focus lies on the question how public policy and corporate responsibility can complement each other to achieve tangible improvements for smallholder producers — and what practical recommendations can support the successful implementation of living income strategies. \nInternational organisations such as the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) and the International Coffee Organisation (ICO) are invited to present their approaches and strategies (e.g.\, Living Income Country Strategies)\, while perspectives from civil society and farmer cooperatives in Côte d’Ivoire will provide an overview of local realities and experiences from the ground\, reflecting challenges and opportunities in current practices. In addition\, representatives from the European food retail sector\, such as the REWE Group\, will provide insights into practical implementation (e.g.\, smart mix approach\, responsible purchasing practices). \n  \nAgenda\nDownload the agenda and further event details here \n  \nLanguage\nThe event will be held in English\, with some contributions in French. Simultaneous interpretation will be available in both directions (English–French and French–English). \n  \nOrganiser\nGerman Initiative on Sustainable Cocoa (GISCO) & Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains Initiative (SASI) \n  \nFurther Information\nThe ANUGA is one of the world’s leading food and beverage trade fairs\, held from October 4-8\, 2025\, in Cologne. With over 7\,900 exhibitors and more than 140\,000 visitors\, it serves as a hub for industry trends and innovations. Especially relevant to the cocoa sector is the „Anuga Fine Food“ segment\, which focuses on chocolate and cocoa products.
