Join us for breakfast and the launch of our USAID Cooperative Development Program with a discussion on sustainable supply chains.

National Press Club

Cooperatives are a significant factor of global supply chains for commodities like coffee, cocoa and vanilla. The cooperative business structure gives smallholder farmers the opportunity to be owners with other growers, buyers or sellers of something much larger than what they could accomplish alone. This panel will discuss the successes and challenges of engaging cooperatives to develop sustainable supply chains and explore the potential for greater impact. Join us at the National Press Club for the launch of our Cooperative Development Program: Creating an Environment for Cooperative Expansion, with generous funding from USAID. The event will include an overview of the new five year project, and panel discussion with partners such as Fairtrade America, International Finance Corporation and McCormick &amp; Company on developing sustainable supply chains through co-ops.8:30 AMRegistration and Breakfast9:00 AM: Introduction to the Cooperative Development Program: Creating an Environment for Cooperative ExpansionRebecca Savoie, PhD, Director of Cooperative Development, NCBA CLUSA9:30 AM: A Sustainable Supply Chain Solution; Panel and DiscussionFeaturing:Hans Theyer, Executive Director, Fairtrade AmericaMichael Okoroafor, PhD, Vice President of Global Sustainability &amp; Packaging Innovation, McCormick &amp; CompanyDieter Fischer, Lead for Agribusiness Advisory Services in Latin America and the Caribbean, International Finance Corporation (IFC)Will Bullock, Director of Creating Economic Opportunities, NCBA CLUSAModerated by:Rebecca Savoie, PhD, Director of Cooperative Development, NCBA CLUSA
