CARICO Café Connoisseur - the first to use Blockchain to show the origin of coffee

In January 2019, Reuters reported: A Ugandan company has started using blockchain, the technology behind virtual currency Bitcoin, to certify shipments of coffee to try to meet growing demand from consumers for more information about where products have come from.

CARICO was the first company globally to use blockchain technology, led with one goal: consumers should know where their coffee actually comes from - in all aspects. We continue to develop this angle by showing the farmers, the places they live and how that choice has an impact than ‘just a cup of coffee’ but also, one to which they can contribute - and, a means to do so.
