The ASEAN Coffee Federation, representing national coffee associations from ten Southeast Asian nations, has recently introduced the ASEAN Coffee Appreciation Protocol (ACAP). This innovative platform aims to enhance the evaluation and education of coffee quality across the region.

ACAP serves as a comprehensive guide designed to standardize coffee appreciation practices, ensuring that coffee producers, traders, and consumers can engage with a consistent framework. By promoting best practices in coffee evaluation, the initiative seeks to elevate the quality of coffee produced in Southeast Asia, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the diverse coffee varieties available.

The launch of ACAP is expected to benefit not only coffee professionals but also enthusiasts and consumers, as it encourages a culture of quality and excellence in coffee production. With the growing global demand for high-quality coffee, the ASEAN Coffee Federation's initiative positions Southeast Asia as a significant player in the international coffee market, ultimately supporting the livelihoods of local farmers and communities.
