The Zambian Coffee Growers Association said that if the planned target of producing 900m tons of coffee is achieved this year, at the current price of US $4200 per tonne on the international market, revenue this year is expected to exceed 18 billion kwacha (about US $3.7 million). The head of the association said that the coffee industry has a vast market, and even if the annual production capacity reaches 40,000 metric tons, it can still be absorbed by the international market. At present, the main problems in the industry are the shortage of funds and the low membership rate of small-scale and economic farmers.
