“It is extremely important for ICOs to participate in inclusive initiatives. Everyone, from producers to consumers, needs information. For this guide, we have changed the title and removed the word “exporters”. The guide is available to all participants in the value chain and we are proud to be a part of it.” Vanusia Nogueira, Executive Director of the International Coffee Organization.

“We’re talking about a masterpiece.” Gerardo Patacconi, COO of the International Coffee Organization.

“The pandemic has made the coffee sector question the traditional way of doing business. We see both challenges and opportunities for smallholders. Consumers are looking for more sustainable and less polluting products. With much of the business being done online, smallholder cooperatives are entering markets that were previously difficult to access.” Joao Mattos, Purchasing and Commercial Coffee Manager. Latin American Network of Small Producers and Fair Trade Workers (CLAC)

“Women continue to lead the coffee sector from bean to cup. We must provide the paths that allow continued empowerment. Youth is also critical to ensure the continuity and further development of the sector in the future. They need to be engaged to move the sector forward.” Janel Tominson, Board Secretary of the International Alliance of Women in Coffee.

The book is now available in four languages: English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. To reach network members worldwide, inclusive.

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
