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.
