An Ethiopian industry institution has revealed that coffee exports have earned the African country over $835 million in revenue over the past nine months. Data from the ECTA revealed that China, the United Arab Emirates and Sudan are becoming top destinations and massive importers of Ethiopian coffee. They have been the major destinations of Ethiopia’s coffee exports over the years. Ethiopia is globally recognized as the home of Arabica coffee, a distinct strain of coffee found almost exclusively in the country. Ethiopian coffee is globally renowned for its richness and variety, making it a hot demand in countries like China, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, the United States, Germany, and Japan.

The second is the amount of young people who are entering specialty coffee. Coming from a family of coffee farmers what troubles me is the gap between commodity coffee and specialty coffee is growing so much. Not every farmer has the means, especially within African countries, to produce a specialty coffee, so that means that they’re being left behind.

But even Britain later resorted to buying the mRNA vaccines for its COVID booster vaccination programs and the AstraZeneca vaccine is now rarely used globally.
