The reception was hosted jointly with the International Coffee Organization, who launched their annual Coffee Development Report for 2019 at the event.
The event included a panel discussion with Swiss and British representatives from the coffee industry, who discussed current trends in the sector and the contribution businesses can make in support of a sustainable coffee supply chain.
Coffee plays an important role in Switzerland, with coffee exports being 2.5 times greater than chocolate exports and 3 times greater than cheese exports. The evening was therefore the perfect way to end Switzerland`s year chairing the International Coffee Council, with the event seeing the chairmanship of the organization passing over to Indonesia for the year ahead.
