Partnership of Monpi Coffee and the UN Population Fund for Coffee Farmers’ Well-Being

In 2023, Monpi Coffee Export Limited (MCEL), our specialty coffee brand in Papua New Guinea, partnered with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) with the aim of improving the health and well-being of coffee farmers.

This partnership focuses on sexual and reproductive health, implementing programs that empower farmers with the knowledge to make informed health decisions concerning their health, contributing to their overall well-being and productivity. The partnership also underscores the vital– yet often overlooked– contribution of women farmers in producing high-quality coffee for export. 

Additionally, this initiative aims to establish a robust network to advocate for and support health centers in the MCEL network area, particularly where existing structures and services are inadequate. 

Through this collaboration, Monpi Coffee and UNFPA are not only fostering healthier communities, but also empowering coffee farmers to thrive, ensuring a more sustainable future for Papua New Guinea’s coffee industry.
