DEMYSTIFY LOCAL COFFEE PROCESSES TO INCREASE CONSUMPTION: AFRICA TOLD
African coffee producing countries have been challenged to demystify local processes to make local and continental consumption of the commodity easy and affordable.
Speaking during the 3rd G-25 African Coffee Summit at the Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre, Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), the Commodities Fund’s Managing Trustee Ms. Nancy Cheruiyot recommended a deep analysis of local coffee value chain policies as well as developing home-grown technologies to revamp local consumption markets and industrial development.
While applauding the Inter-African Coffee Organization (IACO) for successfully advocating for adoption of coffee as a strategic commodity by the African Union, she implored the organization to continue connecting African coffee producers and consumers through African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), in order to take advantage of the existing Africa market.
Recommendation to advocate for coffee to be declared as a strategic commodity under the AU Agenda 2063 was among the 'Nairobi declarations' made during the 1st G-25 African Coffee Summit held in Kenya in May 2022.
“With such interventions, we will unlock opportunities for both youth employment and potential circular economy initiatives, along the coffee value chain,” she said.
During a meeting whose closure was graced by Her Excellency President Samiah Suluhu of Tanzania on Saturday 22nd February 2025, the participating countries signed a 'Dar es Salaam Declaration' aimed at unlocking the youth opportunities in the coffee value chains.
Kenyan delegation was headed by Hon. Wycliffe A. Oparanya, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Cooperatives & MSEs.
The meeting brought together 25 coffee- producing countries in the continent. The next Summit will be in Ethiopia, in 2027.
