The DMCC has expanded its Coffee Centre in Dubai, adding a new mezzanine level to enhance support for coffee businesses and stakeholders. This facility, established in 2019, aims to connect coffee producers and buyers globally. The expansion includes private offices, hot-desking options, and an espresso bar for product demonstrations. This move is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the coffee ecosystem in Dubai.
• The Coffee Centre now features 16 private offices and flexible workspaces.
• The facility supports various stakeholders, including producers and specialty roasters.
• DMCC's Future of Trade report highlights the coffee sector's value at over $200 billion.
• The coffee industry is vital for 25 million farmers, many of whom are smallholders.
This expansion matters as it positions Dubai not just as a redistribution hub but also as a global specialty coffee center. The growth of this sector can lead to better market access for producers and more sustainable practices in coffee production.
