Challenge and Findings
• Provision of more premium may increase quality coffee production
• Premium increases productivity per coffee tree

• Farmers in hilly locations above 1601 m asl. have greater likelihood to receive premium because of quality coffee.
• Premium is an incentive to supply coffee to CWS.
