CQI provides a highly scientific and technical approach to processing post-harvest coffee that improves quality, standardizes procedures, increases competitiveness, reduces risk, and creates a system that can be trusted throughout the supply chain. At its core, this program perpetuates the common language of processing, and teaches the skills necessary to improve quality through differentiation.
Post-harvest processing certification holders use their skills at the farm, at mills, and as consultants. These skills and certifications are not limited to producers; as CQI offers a wide range of processing education that is of value to a buyer, a trader, a roaster or anyone who needs to understand the impact of different post-harvest processing techniques on coffee quality.
