Guatemalan World
Coffee Conference Starts
GUATEMALA - A broad agenda on the future of
coffee and the current problems of its
marketing is being debated on Saturday in
this capital during the third World Coffee
Conference.
Executive Director of the International
Coffee Organization (OIC) Nestor Osorio said
that the conclusions the specialists will
arrive at will be decisive to accomplish a
sustainable production of the bean, which
needs to have its own balance in the
industry.
The main topic of this meeting is entitled
Coffee for the Future: Towards a Coffee
Sustainable Sector, and its expert
conference sessions will deal with economic,
environmental and social issues.
The first session will last the whole
Saturday and will deal with the analysis on
changes and trends in the world coffee
production, its costs and limitations, as
well as that entitled Development of Markets
for a Different Coffee.
This event, which will conclude on Sunday,
is being attended by the 77 OIC member
nations, who are responsible for 97 percent
of the coffee production and more than 80
percent of its consumption worldwide.
The results of these debates will be
immediately discussed at the heart of this
group, since it will hold its 104th session
from Monday to Thursday. |
