About half the world’s specialty
coffees are produced in the fine coffee belt of Africa,
which stretches from Ethiopia through Zimbabwe, and
tremendous potential exists to produce more and improve
the quality of these fine coffees. While the potential
indeed exists, coffee from the region only constitutes
about 15% of the world's specialty coffee imports.
The Eastern African Fine Coffees Association is a member-driven
association of specialty coffee producers, processors
and marketers from ten chapters in the Eastern African
Region: Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda,
Tanzania, Uganda, Madagascar, Zambia, Zimbabwe and
South Africa.
Our membership is continually growing, and the Association
has already grown beyond the confines of Eastern
Africa to include Central and Southern Africa coffee
growing regions. Membership currently also extends
to buyers and coffee specialists from all over the
globe, all who share a passion for coffee from its
original source, the real thing.
The Association was set up to tap into the wonderful
potential afforded by the fine coffees of Africa,
providing market linkages for both buyers and sellers
of specialty coffee so that people around the world
can enjoy and appreciate coffee from the source.
Very special coffee from a very special part of the
world. |
