Coffee giants in coffee crisis

Coffee leaders from Brazil and Colombia, the world’s two largest producers of arabica coffee, met in advance of next month’s World Coffee Producers Forum in Brazil to discuss solutions to the ongoing price crisis.

Held at the headquarters of Brazil’s agriculture ministry in Brasilia, the meeting comes nearly 10 months after leading representatives of both countries’ coffee sectors issued a joint statement taking the coffee industry to task for not responding to low prices, Daily Coffee News reports.
