After 30 years of civil conflict the Republic of South Sudan was established in 2011, opening up the country to the opportunities of development and trade.
George Clooney, our Brand Ambassador, has been actively engaged in the transition of South Sudan to independence. Together with him, we have started engaging in the regeneration of the country’s coffee agricultural sector.
Nespresso is the first coffee company to enter into the country. Along with Technoserve, the development non-profit organisation, we are building an innovative program that will enable farmers to set up cooperatives, raise finance, invest in infrastructure, and commercialise their coffee for export.
After only 18 months, Nespresso has already facilitated the creation of three coffee exporting cooperatives in the south of the country, exporting the first commercial coffee to leave South Sudan in over 30 years.
