The Green Coffee Foundation course introduces basic concepts regarding the production, trade, and evaluation of green coffee.

Within this supply chain, learners take a closer look at the principles of coffee growing, processing, grading, trade, and portfolio management. Practical learning objectives and activities prepare the learner to conduct basic assessments of green coffee.
