Macro losses due to temperature

6.3% of GDP would be the estimated losses for LAC associated with rising temperatures toward 2030, according to the reported climate-impact scenario (ECLAC, 2025).

PAI aimed at improving offering and increasing sal

10.7% of the 497 productive articulation initiatives (PAI) (20 countries, 2023–2025) focus on improving the commercial and tourism offer and increasing sales, according to the report (ECLAC, 2025).

Fermentation with coffee waste increases its score

This study assessed the use of coffee by-products (mucilage, pulp, and yogurt) as starter cultures in semi-wet fermentation. Significant sugar reduction and enhanced formation of desirable aromatic compounds raised the cup score from 84 (control) to 86.7, qualifying it as specialty coffee (Díaz Medina, J. A. et al., 2024).
