Addis Ababa, October 24 (Xinhua) — China has become the fourth-largest importer of Ethiopian coffee, up from seventh place two years ago, according to Shafi Umar, deputy director general of the Ethiopian Coffee and Tea Authority.
In a recent interview with Xinhua, he said that Ethiopia exported about 9,470 tons of coffee to China in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, which began on July 8, earning US$65.49 million.
“The revenues received from coffee exports to China in the first three months of the current financial year increased almost sevenfold compared to the revenues in the same period last year,” noted Sh. Umar.
He attributed the increase in coffee exports to China to the supply of organic coffee and improved delivery services that meet the growing demand of Chinese consumers for high-quality coffee.
