Sustainable Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) Coffee of Honduras

The Sustainable Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) Coffee of Honduras programme seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase the resilience of 4,000 small coffee producers and 80 coffee mills. With a total indicative cost of USD 39,623,400, the initiative focuses on introducing agroforestry systems, improving fertilizer use, and implementing solar technologies for coffee drying. The programme proposes a dual financial mechanism consisting of a non-reimbursable Coffee Fund and a reimbursable Coffee Credit Line, managed by the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI). Key goals include a mitigation impact of 320 GgCO2e by 2023 and the establishment of a Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system to track emissions reductions.

• The programme aims to achieve a total mitigation impact of 320 GgCO2e by the end of its implementation in 2023, followed by annual average reductions of 64 GgCO2e over the subsequent 10 years.
• The initiative targets 4,000 small low-income coffee producers and 80 coffee mills, aiming to have them apply at least one low-carbon practice or technology across 10,000 hectares by 2023.
• The programme identifies four primary mitigation measures: comprehensive management of agroforestry systems (estimated 260 GgCO2e over 20 years), more efficient fertilizer use, waste treatment technologies in mills (estimated 418 GgCO2e over 13 years), and replacing mechanical-electric dryers with solar technologies (estimated 188 GgCO2e over 10 years).
• To overcome financial barriers, the programme will implement two mechanisms: a non-reimbursable Coffee Fund (CF) for grants to support low-carbon practices and a reimbursable Coffee Credit Line channeled through CABEI's network of Financial Institutions.
• The programme will establish a comprehensive Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system to track GHG emissions at both production and processing levels, which is intended to eventually become a mandatory requirement for coffee farmers and mill operators.
• The total indicative project cost is USD 39,623,400, with USD 22,831,400 requested from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) as a grant, representing 58% of the total cost.
