Other FAQs
How does PRF support producers?
As with previous events, the aim of PRF El Salvador 2023 will be to drive green coffee sales and generate long term commercial relationships for Salvadoran coffee producers. There are plenty of networking opportunities which are focused on allowing producers to meet and forge relationships with buyers, including the Sourcing Trip Experience (STE).
Alongside this, we also provide simultaneous translation for lectures and speeches in English, so that Spanish-speaking coffee producers will be able to understand them. We also run a number of other producer-focused initiatives in parallel with PRF. One of the best examples of this is our means-tested Mayorga scholarship programme. The scholarship programme covers the cost of selected producers accommodation and tickets, ensuring they can attend PRF and capitalise on the opportunities offered by the event.
What are the sponsorship opportunities at PRF?
We offer a range of tiered sponsorship packages for brands who are interested.
Alongside these, we also have exhibitor booths and stands, cupping and workshop rooms, category-exclusive sponsorships, and more. Take a look at this page for more information, and use the contact form to get in touch if you’re interested.
