As the celebration of International coffee day should not ignore the agricultural commodity’s birthplace, Ethiopia will stage series of events that lasts for a month, said Ethiopian Coffee and Tea Authority. This is when the coffee plant was discovered in Ethiopia. After a while, people began to believe this beverage had medicinal properties and the fame of coffee began to spread all throughout the Arabian Peninsula. The international community celebrated the International Coffee Day on October 1, 2020 through video conference and some other events under the theme ‘Coffee’s Next Generation’. The theme is also a global initiative organized by International Coffee Organization (ICO) targeting talented and motivated young people and entrepreneurs in the coffee sector.
