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.
