Nestlé (Thai) Co., Ltd. has announced it will continue purchasing coffee beans from farmers in Thailand. Most recently, it signed a memorandum of understanding to buy robusta coffee beans directly from Thai farmers in the 2026/2027 production season, alongside transferring knowledge and promoting regenerative agricultural practices to raise production efficiency in both quality and output volume. Ms. Salinla Siihaphan, Executive Director of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability at Nestlé (Thai) Co., Ltd., said that this year's collaboration with coffee farmers in the southern region goes beyond the direct purchase of produce that has continued for several decades; it is a long-term joint effort to help farmers develop their potential and adapt to climate challenges. Mr. Thierachai Chukittiwibul, Governor of Chumphon Province, said that Chumphon gives importance to robusta coffee as a key economic crop and is pleased to continue its cooperation with Nestlé in supporting farmers in the area. In addition, Nestlé also held a NESCAFÉ Farmer Day event to pass on coffee cultivation techniques as well as regenerative agriculture to more than 300 farmers from various provinces in the southern region.
