Seven African presidents have confirmed their participation in the upcoming summit of the 25 coffee-producing countries, known as the G-25, set to take place tomorrow and the day after at the Julius Nyerere International Conference Centre (JICC) in Dar es Salaam.
The event will begin tomorrow with a meeting of agriculture ministers from the participating nations, followed by the gathering of heads of state the next day. The summit is expected to tackle several pressing issues facing Africa’s coffee industry, including sustainability, improving market access, and addressing the impact of climate change on coffee production.
Primus Kimaro, Director General of the Tanzania Coffee Board, shared more details about the summit’s agenda. He mentioned that the ministers’ meeting would serve as a key preparatory session before the presidents convene for more in-depth discussions on how to support the coffee sector across Africa.
“We are excited to host this important summit, which brings together leaders from coffee-producing countries. It’s an opportunity to collaborate and find solutions to the challenges that our coffee farmers and producers face,” Kimaro said in a statement.
The G-25 summit will also serve as a platform for sharing experiences and ideas, as many African nations deal with similar obstacles in coffee cultivation. Coffee remains one of the continent’s top exports, and the outcomes of this summit could play a pivotal role in improving the livelihoods of millions of farmers and boosting the economies of coffee-dependent countries.
The summit’s discussions will focus on enhancing the quality of African coffee, finding ways to make it more competitive in the global market, and ensuring that farming practices become more sustainable. Additionally, the leaders will explore innovative farming technologies that could help address the negative effects of climate change, which has been harming coffee yields in several African countries.
This summit marks a significant moment for Tanzania, which is taking a lead role in shaping the future of coffee production on the continent. As the host country, Tanzania stands to gain from the cooperation and collective efforts of the G-25 nations, potentially attracting more trade and investment in its coffee sector.
