Export quota of Blue Mountain Coffee how to buy Blue Mountain Coffee Raw beans Import Coffee beans

Export quota

According to Jamaica's CIB export statistics as of 2004, 85 per cent of the limited Blue Mountain 1 quota was allocated to Japan, 5 per cent of the United States, 5 per cent of Europe and 5 per cent of other countries. However, in the global consumption distribution of authentic Blue Mountain No. 1, according to the International Coffee Association (ICO), China accounts for 15% of the consumption of Blue Mountain coffee, which stunns the world. The reason is that some shares of Blue Mountain coffee in Japan, Australia and Europe are exported to China through direct branches.

The above differences in export quotas and consumption distribution are extremely embarrassing for the Jamaican government. The asymmetrical Blue Mountain coffee export quota keeps most of the profits in trading enterprises in countries such as Japan, and the Jamaican coffee industry has not benefited from it. The key to the shift was in 2005, when the Jamaican Minister of Agriculture made it clear that Blue Mountain Coffee should be more roasted in Jamaica, directly through quota allocation, preferring to circulate directly from Jamaica to consumer countries.

The means on which the Jamaican government relies on changing export quotas come from Wallenford estates, which are directly controlled by the government, and the wallenford Blue Mountain 1 quota means that the Jamaican Coffee Agency (CIB) endorses the quota target for the country or the company.

In May 2010, Hangzhou Coffee and Western Food Industry Association, with the support of Hangzhou Municipal Government, signed a memorandum of cooperation on trade in raw beans of Blue Mountain Coffee with Jamaica Coffee Industry Bureau in Hangzhou. In July of the same year, the Association was invited to send a delegation to Jamaica to formally inspect the Blue Mountain Coffee Project, and signed a letter of intent of cooperation for China's sole distributor of raw beans of Blue Mountain Coffee on July 15, local time in Jamaica. During the cooperation period, at least 70 tons (70 kg of standard casks in 1000 barrels) of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee were supplied to China every year. On May 26, 2011, the first cabinet of raw beans of Blue Mountain Coffee arrived at the port of Ningbo, China. The Jamaican Blue Mountain raw beans imported by Hangzhou Coffee and Western Food Industry Association cover six brands certified by CIB, such as WALLENFORD, MAVIS BANK, GOLD CUP (AMBER), COFFEE TRADES and RSW, as well as NO.1, NO.2, NO.3 and Doudou.
