coffee is a global community

Coffee is one of the most valuable primary products in world trade. With over 400 billion cups consumed every year, coffee is the world’s most popular beverage. Its cultivation, processing, trading, transportation and marketing provide employment for millions of people worldwide. Coffee is crucial to the economies and politics of many developing countries; for many of the world’s least developed countries, exports of coffee account for a substantial part of their foreign exchange earnings in some cases over 80%.
