BBC SPORT | Football | Africa | Ghana give Nigeria support (#)
„Nigeria confirmed on Monday their intention to be the key partner in a West African bid, held together with Cameroon, Benin, Togo and Ghana themselves. And Koffie argued the key to the success of the bid would be the geographical closeness of the countries. "The bid by Nigeria will serve Africa better because they are not going it alone but want to spread out the event to the whole of West Africa," Koffie said. "The distances between our countries are such that if the World Cup is brought to West Africa, it will be easier than that of Japan and Korea," he added.“

„With coffee prices rising, African Robustas began to flow freely into U.S. blends. According to Mark Pendergrast in Uncommon Grounds, “In 1951 Africa had accounted for only 4.8% of U.S. coffee imports; by 1955 the figure had risen to 11.4%.”“

Tea & Coffee 06/01 - East Africa... Good Coffee, Bad Times
„Part of the global problem is that there is too much coffee in the world and not enough demand for good coffee. In the case of certain East African coffees, however, the coffee was often so good that it created its own demand. It is the return of those coffees for which its producers, and buyers, are fervently hoping.“

International Coffee Organization
„Before the creation of the Office de Produits Agricole Togolais (OPAT), coffee trading in Togo was dominated by a handful of large foreign exporters who purchased coffee directly from the farmer and exported it. In 1964, OPAT was established and became solely responsible for the external marketing of coffee and cocoa. Internal coffee (and cocoa) marketing remained in the hands of the private sector, thus the former exporters became buyers (acheteurs agréés) for OPAT. Grower prices and all marketing margins were fixed annually by OPAT (known as the barème).“

„The espresso coffee, which can be used in all Costa coffee drinks, is made from high quality beans produced in Mexico, Peru, Cameroon and Tanzania. The subsequent higher payments that the coffee growers will receive are particularly welcome at present given the climate of falling world coffee prices (see News in brief ).“

„Offered in Original, South American or African blend, these medium roast, rich-body coffees are selected from smaller coffee estates where farmers give individual care and attention to each coffee crop. Melitta Estate Blend coffees are packed in a 14.1 oz can specially equipped with our unique one-way Freshness Valve, which allows the coffee to be packed “hot out of the roaster”. The Freshness Valve lets the coffee cool in the canister and avoid exposure to oxygen. The result?“
