April 2023

Dear Partner,

Are you a coffee lover? Then this blog might need your attention! While we were leisurely surfing the internet to read up latest articles in the sector, we came across the story of a Colombian coffee farmer who shared his fears of losing his family’s business to climate change and a market that doesn’t reward sustainability.

We are back with our monthly inclusive growth sector scan and in this edition, you can access eighteen latest blogs and articles from five different sectors, four recent thought-provoking reports, and details of two online events by Business Fights Poverty and We Give Summit that might interest you.

We are always looking for your feedback which can help us serve you better.

Write us at dialogue@re-emergingworld.com.

See you next month!

Best Regards,
Team Re-emerging World
