African: African Countries and China

african: China's large coffee-consuming market will help African countries diversify its coffee sales and spur production and generate more revenues, he said, according to Global Times China. China, with its big population, offers a base for product demand and business opportunity for Africa exports, said the chairman. Chinese interest in Africa's coffee is a great opportunity for African countries to increase coffee trade volumes to China, Lukenge told Xinhua in an interview on the sidelines of the 17th African Fine Coffees Conference and Exhibition in Rwandan capital Kigali. China is not just offering investment, infrastructure and financial support to African countries, but now also offering its market, said Lukenge. The conference that runs from Feb. 13 to 15 brought together more than 600 delegates, including 65 exhibitors from across Africa and beyond to discuss ways to raise the quality and competitiveness of the coffee produced in Africa. He encouraged Africa coffee producing countries to enter into joint ventures with partners in China to penetrate the market, thus expanding coffee exports to China. (news.financializer.com).
