The International Women’s Coffee Alliance (IWCA) has announced three new chapters — in the BeNeLux region, France and Ghana — expanding its global network to 40 chapters. The announcement was made official at the World of Coffee event in Brussels, one of Europe’s most important coffee industry trade shows.
IWCA supports women involved at every stage of the coffee value chain — from growers and processors to roasters and café owners — through mentorship programs, access to financing and professional training. The expansion into new European and African markets strengthens the organization’s presence on continents where women’s participation in the industry often remains underrepresented at leadership level.
The steady growth of the IWCA network reflects a broader trend in specialty coffee: more industry players are recognizing women’s central role in production and calling for greater transparency around gender equity in the supply chain.
