Study on the implementation of a coffee tax reduction on sustainable coffee

Transformation of Public Administration Duration: 03/08/2018 - 31/01/2019 | Funding: German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ)

The German government has demonstrated its commitment to the sustainability goals set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. One of the key development policy objectives of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is to promote the establishment of sustainable global supply chains. In April 2018, the BMZ publicly advocated for the exemption of coffee taxes on sustainably produced and fairly traded coffee, with the objective of improving social and environmental production conditions in coffee-growing countries. The German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) provides advisory services to the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) within the framework of the programme 'Sustainable supply chains and standards', and commissioned the National Institute for Public Administration Germany to conduct a public administration study.
