咖啡金融网（www.coffinance.com）消息，上周在德国柏林举行的欧洲精品咖啡博览会上，以可持续发展为重点的非营利性全球咖啡平台（The Global Coffee Platform，缩写：GCP）呼吁各方，共同来解决咖啡价格危机。

全球咖啡平台表示，咖啡期货合约设计之初是希望成为有效的价格发现工具，并为生产商，出口商，贸易商，烘焙商和零售商提供服务。但从目前来看并非如此，尤其是在价格下跌时，投机者通过做空炒作来大量获利的同时，严重伤害到了产业上游的利益。

全球咖啡平台呼吁有关部分应该对包括对高频率，人工智能算法交易参与者的监管，以尽量减少过度的投机行为。

在公告中，全球咖啡平台表示，“持续较低的咖啡价格已经严重损害了可持续咖啡生产的可行性，并正在伤害咖啡种植家庭。鉴于我们的严重关切，全球咖啡平台呼吁采取紧急的全球集体行动，以克服这场危机，这场危机威胁着数百万小农咖啡农，环境和咖啡业本身的生命。“

以下是全球咖啡平台的发布的全文：

全球咖啡平台（GCP）  认为，咖啡种植的经济可行性是确保全世界咖啡生产可持续发展的关键。然而，目前持续较低的国际咖啡价格已经对可持续咖啡生产的可行性造成严重损害，并且正在损害咖啡种植家庭。

鉴于我们的严重关切，全球咖啡平台呼吁采取紧急的全球集体行动，以克服这一威胁数百万小农咖啡农，环境和咖啡业本身生命的危机。

通过全球咖啡平台与国际咖啡组织（ICO）的合作，支持ICO第465号决议，并参考世界咖啡生产者论坛（WCPF），我们承认整个全球咖啡行业有责任为确保咖啡生产者的合理收入，并帮助确保全球咖啡种植的经济可行性。

因此，全球咖啡平台呼吁所有咖啡行业利益相关者和合作伙伴采取以下行动：

1、与国际咖啡交易所（美国ICE和欧洲ICE）合作：

加强咖啡期货合约（阿拉比卡和罗布斯塔）作为真正有效的价格发现工具，为生产商，出口商，贸易商，烘焙商和零售商提供服务;。并对包括对高频率，人工智能算法交易在内的参与者进行监管，以尽量减少过度的投机参与。

2、鼓励烘焙商和零售商：

做前瞻性和提高对可持续采购的承诺咖啡。并支付略高的价格，从而让生产者有利可图，并将收益再次投入到可持续的咖啡生产中。

透明地报告每年按原产地购买的可持续咖啡的数量，以鼓励采购的多样性。

促进咖啡进口市场和咖啡生产国的可持续咖啡消费。

扩大可持续咖啡的范围，使咖农如同经营企业一样更多地参与管理他们的农场。

3、激活生产国的利益相关者——政府，生产者，企业和捐助者：

通过公私国家平台促进可持续咖啡生产的有利商业环境的改善。

降低供应链的低效率并提高透明度，以确保农民获得更高的收入。

通过生产者组织促进对冲策略和保险计划，以保护咖啡种植者的利润。

与政府，私营部门，捐助者和非政府组织合作，鼓励小农咖啡农的收入多样化。

4、动员政府机构，私营部门和民间社会：

实现政策变革，实现咖啡种植的生活收入和经济可行性。

探索实际的方法，将咖啡（消费税，特定税，关税等）专门产生的税收直接补助给咖啡种植者，以支付良好的环境实践，实现最佳生产力并降低成本。

设计创新解决方案，为可持续发展计划提供资金，例如通过“check-off”计划。

报告原文：

The Global Coffee Platform (GCP) believes that the economic viability of coffee farming is key to ensuring sustainable livelihoods in coffee producing communities throughout the world. However, current and persistent low international coffee prices have caused severe damages to the viability of sustainable coffee production and are harming coffee farming families.

Given our serious concern, the GCP calls for urgent global collective action to overcome this crisis which is threatening the lives of millions of smallholder coffee farmers, the environment and the coffee industry itself.

Through GCP’s partnership with the International Coffee Organization (ICO), in support of ICO Resolution 465, and with reference to the World Coffee Producers Forum (WCPF), we acknowledge that the entire global coffee sector bears responsibility to foster the path towards a reasonable living income for coffee producers, and to help ensure the economic viability of coffee farming worldwide.

Therefore, the Global Coffee Platform calls on all coffee industry stakeholders and partners to take the following actions:

Engage with the international coffee exchanges (US and EU) to:

Enhance the coffee futures contracts (Arabica and Robusta) as genuine and effective price discovery tools to service producers, exporters, traders, roasters, and retailers; This includes the regulation of high frequency, artificial intelligence, and algorithmic (black box) trade participation to minimize excessive speculative participation

Encourage roasters and retailers to:

Make forward looking and increasing commitments about sourcing sustainable coffee [i] with remunerative prices that allow for investments into sustainable coffee production

Transparently report volumes of sustainable coffee purchased by origin on an annual basis to encourage diversity of sourcing

Promote consumption of sustainable coffee both in coffee importing markets and coffee producing countries

Enlarge the scope of sustainable coffee, enabling greater participation of smallholder farmers to manage their farms as businesses

Activate stakeholders in producing countries – governments, producers, businesses, and donors – to:

Foster the improvement of a conducive business environment for sustainable coffee production through public-private country platforms

Reduce inefficiencies and increase transparency along the supply chain to ensure that the farmer receives a higher percentage of the price

Promote hedging strategies and insurance schemes through producer organizations in order to protect coffee growers’ margins

Encourage income diversification for smallholder coffee farmers in collaboration with governments, private sector, donors, NGOs

Mobilize governmental agencies, the private sector, and civil society to:

Achieve policy changes that enable a living income and the economic viability of coffee farming

Explore practical ways to channel revenues from taxes generated specifically by coffee (excise, specific, tariffs, etc.) directly to coffee farmers to pay for good environmental practices, achieve optimum productivity, and reduce costs

Design innovative solutions to fund sustainability initiatives, for example through “check-off” programs
