Lift the Land

In the highlands of Northwest Cameroon, under the shade of banana, kola nut, and orange trees, a quiet revolution is growing.

Kribi Coffee founded the Cameroon Coffee Collective™ to protect and elevate one of the world's richest coffee landscapes and the communities who bring it to life.

Roots Run Deep

Our founder, Jacques Shalo, grew up on his family’s coffee farm in Mabonji, Cameroon, where coffee was a way of life.

He envisioned empowering Cameroon’s farmers through collaboration and pride.

The Collective embodies this vision, born from family, built for community, and grown to honor our home.

Empowering & Restoring

3,000+ farming families supported

Decades of dwindling harvests reversed through collaboration and ecological stewardship

Widow-founded women’s cooperatives empowered through coffee as a livelihood

How The Collective Works

  • Self-Governed Circles of Excellence

    Farmers organize into self-managed groups to maintain quality through peer review and collective decision-making.

  • Sustainability at the Core

    We practice soil conservation, regenerative farming, and shade management to protect future harvests.

  • Empowering Farmers, Not Controlling Them

    We provide unwavering support. The farmers lead the way.
