History

The Coffee Board of India was established by an act of Parliament in 1942. Until 1995 the CBoI marketed the coffee of a pooled supply. Later, coffee marketing became a private-sector activity due to the economic liberalisation in India.^[1]

The Coffee Board's traditional duties included

• promotion of sale, and consumption of coffee in India and abroad
• conducting coffee research
• financial assistance to establish small coffee growers
• safeguarding working conditions for laborers
• managing the surplus pool of unsold coffee.^[2]
