India is globally recognized for its premium Arabica and Robusta coffee plantations, and the Coffee Board of India plays the central regulatory role in quality assurance, export authorization, market facilitation, and international promotion.If you are engaged in coffee export, processing, roasting, curing, trading, packaging, blending, or café export operations, obtaining Coffee Board Registration (RCMC Certificate) is a statutory requirement under DGFT.
