The Coffee Directory | National Coffee Organizations
📅 Updated: August 2026
☕ From the Editor
Every coffee-producing nation has its own story. Behind that story are organizations dedicated to improving coffee quality, supporting producers, funding research, promoting exports, preserving regional identities, and strengthening their country's coffee industry.
Some organizations are government agencies responsible for regulating coffee production and exports. Others are nonprofit associations, producer cooperatives, specialty coffee organizations, or trade groups that promote education, sustainability, marketing, and international cooperation.
This directory introduces many of the world's leading national coffee organizations while connecting readers to the countries and coffee-growing regions they represent. Together with The Coffee Atlas, these organizations help tell the complete story of coffee—from origin to cup.
