International Buyers Oppose Ethiopian Coffee Shipping Directive
The new directive which makes bulk container shipping mandatory for Ethiopian exporters has been met with opposition from international buyers.
The new shipping system replaces the 60 kilogram bags used to export coffee with one container size bag into which coffee is stored. Associations representing major importers from Germany and Switzerland wrote letters of complaint against the new bulk container shipping to their Embassies in Ethiopia, the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
