The Coffee Board of India (CBoI) is a special group that works for the Government of India. It is managed by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. The main goal of the CBoI is to help grow and sell more coffee in India. Its main office is in Bangalore.
History of the Coffee Board
The Coffee Board of India was created by a law passed in 1942. For many years, until 1995, the CBoI was in charge of selling all the coffee grown in India. They would collect coffee from different farms and then sell it.
However, after 1995, India changed its economic rules. This meant that private companies could start selling coffee on their own. So, the Coffee Board's role in selling coffee changed.
What the Coffee Board Does
Even though the way coffee is sold changed, the Coffee Board still has many important jobs. These jobs help coffee farmers and the coffee industry in India.
- Promoting Coffee: They work to make sure more people in India and other countries buy and drink Indian coffee.
- Coffee Research: They do studies to find better ways to grow coffee. This includes looking for new types of coffee plants or ways to protect them from diseases.
- Helping Farmers: They give money and support to small coffee farmers. This helps farmers start or improve their coffee farms.
- Worker Safety: They help make sure that people who work on coffee farms have good and safe working conditions.
- Managing Coffee Supply: They used to manage extra coffee that wasn't sold right away. This helped keep the coffee market stable.
The Coffee Board of India continues to play a key role in supporting coffee growers and promoting Indian coffee around the world.
