If you like coffee, you have drunk a lot of coffee from the producing area. Do you like the flower and fruit aroma of Ethiopia, the sour and sweet taste of Kenya, the rich flavor of Mantenin or the sweetness of Panama? If you have drunk all these, I believe you are indeed a coffee glutton. After all, only people who love deeply will pursue and taste different coffee and find different flavors to satisfy their pursuit of coffee. This is a great thing!

I wonder if you coffee gluttons know what the date of 9.29 is? I guess a lot of people don't know. 9.29 is the "Global Coffee Day", which has evolved from the "National Coffee Day" in the United States to the current "Global Coffee Day". It was launched by Donndole, one of the global coffee and bakery chains, to share coffee culture and food, because the event received a warm response from consumers and peers and became a publicity day for the coffee industry at that time. Later, due to the spread and development of coffee, it was for this reason that the festival slowly evolved into a global festival now.

It took a long time to evolve into the current "Global Coffee Day". Although it was spread by the United States, it is not a national holiday, but a carnival day for coffee enthusiasts around the world, because coffee belongs to the world. This festival is an excellent time for coffee gluttons to understand coffee culture. Different coffee cultures from different countries will be presented to you on this day, which will definitely make you have unexpected gains.

And another coffee festival is the same day as our great and lovely motherland-10.1, which is the 70th birthday of our great motherland, which belongs to our Chinese people, and at the same time, it is also a special day for coffee fans.

The International Coffee Organization (ICO-International Coffee Organization) was founded in 1963 and is headquartered in London, the capital of England. The purpose of the International Coffee Organization is to provide help and support to global coffee farmers to promote the healthy development and cooperation of the global coffee industry to improve the situation of the global coffee industry.

The International Coffee Organization also signed a memorandum of understanding with Oxfam to raise money for coffee farmers in coffee-producing countries and improve the growing conditions and lives of coffee farmers. In 2015, the International Coffee Organization (ICO-International Coffee Organization), by 74 member states and 27 coffee associations around the world, signed an agreement to designate October 1, 2015 as the first International Coffee Day (International Coffee day). This year is the fifth international coffee festival.

The coffee festival is more than that. 2019.10.1 marks the 118th session of the International Coffee Council (ICC-International Coffee Council) and the first "Global first Coffee Forum" (Global Coffee Forum-GCF), which was held during the Milan Expo in 2015.

On September 23-27, the 125th Council meeting of the International Coffee Organization was held in London, England. A declaration document, the London Declaration, was signed by important international coffee roasters and traders. This document is the top priority of this meeting. it is a historic declaration document related to the sustainable development of the global coffee industry, which coincides with the purpose of the International Coffee Organization. It is to promote the healthy development of the global coffee industry and help coffee farmers improve their conditions in the future.

This is the first joint effort of the most important and most important private sector participants in the coffee industry chain, who have given solutions to the problem of coffee prices in the spirit of shared responsibility and made efforts to solve the coffee price crisis. The price of coffee has fallen this year because of its overcapacity. An adequate supply of coffee has contributed to the growth of coffee exports, and raw beans remain the main product of the global coffee trade, accounting for about 91.3% of the total coffee export trade during this period. Global coffee demand is expected to grow 2.1 per cent to 16.477 million bags, with rapid growth in Asia, Oceania and Africa, with demand and growth outpacing that of other regions. However, there is expected to be a surplus of 4.96 million bags in 2018 / 19, the second consecutive year of production surplus. The cumulative oversupply in the past two years is about 7 million bags, which is one of the main reasons for the low price of coffee at present.

The London Declaration is also supported by the global coffee platform, the National Coffee Association, the Rainforest Alliance and other international coffee industries. Four lines of action will be taken in the future: 1. Promote the competitiveness of the industry and sustainable production 2. Responsible for and ensuring an increase in coffee production by 3. 5%. Promote the active consumption of coffee industry 4. Promote real-time dialogue on policy formulation. At the same time, it is committed to establishing market and supply information systems, actively participating in national dialogue and promoting resource allocation.

The convening of this meeting of the International Coffee Organization has made a contribution to the United Nations 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development, and there still needs time to prove the effect of whether it can help and promote the healthy development of the global coffee industry. however, in line with such an original intention to sign this contract, such a spirit should be recognized by the coffee industry!
