Coffee: Just One Form of Hope for Africa

As many regions of Africa face continued political and economic instability, as they have for centuries, the Eastern African Fine Coffees Association hopes it has found a solution to some of the unrest.

Increased coffee production, says the Association, are the key to boosting the economy and stabilizing some of the social unrest seen in Eastern nation. Currently, Africa only produces about 12% of the world’s coffee, but the Association hopes to increase that percentage 15-20% by 2020.

Coffee brings people together—whether it’s being drank, processed or produced, coffee is a force for peace in the world. Next time you drink coffee, you can feel good knowing that you’re supporting a beverage that supports solutions to social crisis.
