Our hope and proposal for the G25 Coffee Summit: unite all African coffee producers on introducing a tax on export of green coffee outside of Africa. Let’s start with 5% and increase from there. Support value addition at source. @CoffeeUganda #coffeesummit #AfricaCoffeeSummit
By doing value addition at source and exporting the final product, 5X more value can be generated from our coffee. Jobs will be created, and the economy will benefit tremendously. No more export of raw materials.
@thewildbrand @CoffeeUganda My dear! "Statistics is like a mini-skirt; what it reveals is less important than what it hides", the axiom goes! About 24 of African countries producing & exporting just about 10% of global share, GO DARE TAX IT & LET Brazil et al go euphoric! 🙄
