History

The Coffee Board of India was established by an act of Parliament in 1942. Until 1995 the Coffee Board 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, 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]
