Today at Conferenza CO[OPERA] 2026 in Rome, ICO Executive Director @vanusia_nogueira joined Mr Andrea Illy on stage for a session on the Italian strategy for the coffee sector under Italy’s Mattei Plan for Africa, implemented through @unido_org ACT Programme.

During the discussion, she highlighted the role the ICO plays as the home of coffee diplomacy and as a key facilitator of partnerships, emphasizing how the right investments and a long-term vision can unlock meaningful growth across coffee-producing countries in Africa, promote local value addition, and strengthen their position in global markets.

We thank the Italian Government and private sector for their commitment to and investment in development cooperation programmes that promote more equitable and resilient coffee value chains.
