Coffee in Costa Rica:

• Coffee accounts for around 11% of export revenues and employs 5% of the labour force
• The coffee industry is privatised but is regulated and supported by the Instituto de Café de Costa Rica (Icafé)
• A unique system is operated whereby farmers deliver their coffee to a processing plant or beneficio and Icafé specifies the commissions to which the beneficio, exporter, government and Icafé itself are entitled. Most of Coocafe’s member co-operatives have now developed the capacity to operate as beneficios.
