„"From the very first year, our aim has been that the illycaffe india coffee quality prize should become the catalyst for a quality movement among the coffee growers in this country", says Andrea Illy, CEO of illycaffe. "We have been buying green coffee from india for over six years now, and find that Indian coffee compares well in terms of taste and organolectic characteristics, with that produced in Brazil and other parts of the world. I see great potential for continually growing partnership amongst us and Indian coffee planters."“

„Due to the difficulty finding high quality green coffee, in 1990 illycaffè went to the source—making an agreement with top Brazilian growers and establishing an annual prize for the producer of the highest quality coffee. The winner receives a cash prize of $30,000 U.S. and a 30% premium price over market for the winning coffee lot. Second prize is $20,000 U.S., and so on, with even the 10th place finisher receiving $1000. Over 600 small and large Brazilian producers now take part in this competition, and illy works with them year round to produce better coffee.“

„Brazil was chosen as the location for the award not only because it is the world's largest coffee producer, but also because its growers demonstrate a high level of professionalism and tradition difficult to find in other coffee growing nations. Brazilian coffee is often considered to be merely a "bonding agent", that is, a component to be blended with more highly prized beans from other countries. In reality, however, the potential quality of Brazilian coffee is very high. One reason for this is that in Brazil coffee is dried in the sun.“

„Just as he was among the first to plant coffee in Cerrado, he was among the first to see the value of working with Illy. Illy taught him how to raise coffee to excellence, and for the last 10 years, Illy has endowed Alto Cafezal with an award for being among the best producers in Brazil. Every year for 10 years, Illy has bought thousands of bags of green coffee, much of it bound to serve as a hearty foundation to espresso blends. “Much of what I learned about quality was from Illy,” Grossi says.“

„Although there is an economic crisis among coffee growers, the growers in Shevaroy pay more attention to maintain the standard of cultivation practices and introduction of many associated crops like Pepper, Orange, Citrus and Banana which provide them additional income. It is worthy to state that large scale Banana cultivation once disintegrated in Pulneys, Yercaud, Sirumalai and Kolli Hills is coming up and the success of Banana cultivation again in these areas would pay additional and substantial income and that would add the success stories of Coffee plantation in Tamil Nadu.“
