AdapCC – Adaptation to climate change for smallholders of coffee and tea
"Adaptation for Smallholders to Climate Change" (AdapCC) supports coffee and tea
farmers in developing strategies to cope
with the risks and impacts of climate change.
The Public-Private Partnership is implemented by the leading British Fairtrade company for hot beverages
Cafédirect and the
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH (German Technical Cooperation). Financing of the project is shared
by Cafédirect (52%) and the PPP programme (48%) of the
Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
Successful implementation of adaptation strategies and upscaling potential
The implementation of site-specific exemplary adaptation strategies with pilot producer organizations, especially in Mexico,
Peru and Kenya is progressing above all expectations. In Mexico and Kenya, nearly all agreed activities have already been
implemented successfully. Furthermore, the Mexican pilot group Más Café won additional funding and publicly support for
implementing further adaptation and mitigation measures.
The demand for disseminating the results, especially in the coffee sector, but also in the agriculture sector in general
as well as the potential to scale up the pilot approach to other regions, value chains and crops is amazing and highly
satisfactory. Some international coffee and tea traders are very interested in taking on the results. Adaptation and
mitigation within the agricultural sector becomes more and more a pressing issue on the political agenda, especially in the
Central American region, where RUTA and other regional public and private institutions start to focus on climate change,
based on the results of the AdapCC pilot project. Cafédirect cooperates with more than 260.000 smallscale farmers in Asian,
African and Latin American tea, cocoa and coffee sector and will disseminate the pilot case results and exemplary adaptation
strategies by integrating them in their Producer Partnership Programme that is managed since end of 2009 by the producer owned
Cafédirect Producer Foundation (CPF).

the approach will be carried out as follows:
