  „London - At its recent meeting at the headquarters of the International Coffee Organization (ICO) in London, the International Coffee Council spoke on its latest report on the market situation for coffee. The report confirms that the current situation of very low prices is leading to severe economic and social problems in a growing number of coffee producing countries, and concerns over coffee quality in consuming countries. The Council recognized that one possible way to address this problem was through a quality improvement program and the establishment of a Quality Committee to devise rules to facilitate measures for the withdrawal from the market of defective coffee beans and those with a moisture content above a permitted level.“
