International Coffee Day is celebrated on October 1st, officially launched by the International Coffee Organization in Milan in 2015. Coffee is the world's second most traded commodity after oil, with over 2 billion cups consumed daily. The day celebrates the beverage and highlights the work of the farmers who grow it. It also promotes fair trade coffee and draws attention to the plight of coffee growers who often receive very little of the final retail price. Cafes around the world offer free or discounted coffee to mark the occasion.
