Logistics bottlenecks in global trade will be debated at the 9th Coffee Dinner & Summit
Sectors in the segment will analyze the economic impacts and the measures adopted to mitigate risks
To make a brief reflection about the logistic bottlenecks in world trade in the last two years, what were their economic impacts and the measures adopted to mitigate risks is one of the objectives of the “Logistics Panel” at 9º Coffee Dinner & Summit, the event will be held by the Brazilian Coffee Exporters Council (Cecafé) tomorrow, May 26, at Um Rooftop, in São Paulo (SP), sponsored by the Brazilian Support Service for Micro and Small Companies (Sebrae).
According to the entity’s technical director, Eduardo Heron, who will moderate the panel, the speakers will also present the challenges in port and maritime infrastructure, talk about the investments made in the sector to ensure the flow of global supply, and demonstrate the initiatives and socio-environmental trends promoted by each sector in the logistics segment.
To address these issues, the panel will have the contributions of Flávia Takafashi, director of the National Agency for Waterway Transport (ANTAQ); Joel Contente, director of Corporate Affairs at Brasil Terminal Portuário (BTP); Etore Selvatici Cavallieri, CEO of the Imetame Group; Rodrigo Costa, Trade Lane Manager at DSV – Global Transport and Logistics; and Toon Pauwels, CEO of Molenbergnatie and Ilomar Holding N.V.
“Logistics professionals have experienced enormous challenges in recent years and have had to make efforts and reinvent themselves to ensure that Brazil remains the world’s leading supplier of coffee, and a major trading partner in the global supply of the product. This experience of the players in the chain and the next steps looking ahead is what we will present to the Coffee Dinner & Summit audience in this panel,” he concluded.
COFFEE DINNER & SUMMIT
Organized by Cecafé, the event stands out as one of the main global forums of the coffee sector, bringing together, every two years, around a thousand people and leaders of all segments of Brazilian and world coffee growing to promote business prospection, create commercial opportunities, share experiences and network, bringing together agribusiness players and coffee lovers.
Under the theme “Production Growth: Its Challenges and Opportunities in ESG Times”, the ninth edition of the Coffee Dinner & Summit aims to promote debate and reflection on the economic, climatic, regulatory, and logistical challenges, and especially on the sustainable initiatives developed by Brazil and other coffee nations, which respect the criteria of socio-environmental governance.
ZERO CARBON EVENT
Honoring its pillar of action focused on socio-environmental responsibility, sustainability and food safety, Cecafé obtained the Green Seal from reforestation startup Ecooar Biodiversity to neutralize the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) with the 9th Coffee Dinner & Summit.
By calculating the carbon emissions generated during the two days of the event, the Council offset more than 2.5 tons of CO2 by planting native trees, contributing to the reforestation of Permanent Preservation Areas (APP) at Fazenda Santa Emília, a coffee producer in Garça (SP), where the regeneration of the environment and the preservation of spring waters benefit, directly and indirectly, about one million people in the 62 cities in the region.
