After the success of our auctions in El Salvador and Honduras during 2016, Project Origin is returning again in 2017 with ‘Best Of’ auctions in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras.
El objetivo de las subastas es apoyar a la industria del café de especialidad conectando a las comunidades cafeteras de todo el mundo y educar a los profesionales del café a lo largo de toda la cadena de suministro. Al fomentar el aprendizaje entre agricultores, tostadores y consumidores, podemos crear un mejor producto y agregarle más valor, fortaleciendo las relaciones en el proceso.
The first of this years’ auctions will take place during April in El Salvador, followed by Nicaragua in June and Honduras (late harvest) in July. Each auction requires a panel of judges, both new and experienced, to taste, judge and score each entry into the auction.
Project Origin invites coffee professionals around the world to attend these auctions and to participate as judges. Judging application forms are due by 00:00 (AEST) March 4, 2017 and can be found here: Auction Judging Application 2017
Applications for producers to submit there coffee can be found here: PRODUCER APPLICATION
The schedule for the first auction in El Salvador can be found here: EL SALVADOR 2017 SCHEDULE
