Coffee Traceability for Haiti

Bridging the Global Digital Divide. Coffee – Technology – Haiti.

“Alcatel-Lucent joins with Cafés Malongo, the University of Nice and ComCEL to offer broadband Internet access to the isolated rural areas of Cap Rouge in Haiti.
This pilot project called “Traçabilité du Café” (Coffee Traceability) will give Haiti’s coffee cooperatives Internet access from their plantations by applying WiMAX and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technologies. By having such access to the latest information technologies, they will be able to monitor the traceability of their fair trade labeled production and sell their coffee on optimum terms by reducing the number of intermediaries.”
