The coronavirus crisis is hitting coffee hard – but consumers are barely feeling it. However, what's happening along the entire supply chain is bringing about dramatic changes and will stay with us for years to come. We discuss this with experts.

Roasted coffee is still available in retail and online stores. But for how long? And under what conditions?
What does COVID-19 mean for coffee producers, for cooperatives, for exporters, for logistics companies, for coffee roasters, for retailers – for all those who contribute to the final product?
In our webinar, we'll take a look behind the coffee scenes and talk to experts who will use their expertise to interpret the challenges and opportunities of this time.
We are delighted that we were able to include such a broad panel of experts – thank you to all the speakers for their participation.
