Strategy

Lao Coffee Sector Development Strategy by 2025 was officially approved by the Prime Minister and cabinet members of the Government of Laos (January 2014) and approved during the third CNCL meeting organized in August 2014 which was one of the major events of the year with the organization of the first Festival Lao coffee. These two significant events have clearly contributed to strengthen the unity and ownership of the sector actions by related institutional stakeholders.

The challenge remains to provide support to these legitimate actors for the transfer of responsibilities in the management and coordination of the sector. Efforts must focus on an appropriate transmission to stakeholders while seeking contribution from the public sector (financial and human resources) to maintain and sustain the momentum initiated for the CNCL. The continuation of current activities represents a good basis for collaboration and following up with the succession team.
