Eastern Africa coffee farmers, roasters and exporters will in February next year meet to discuss policy issues and measures that can facilitate the logistics and easier movement of coffee across borders.

The conference, the 7th of its kind organised by the East African Fine Coffees Association Conference (EAFCA) will be held on February 11t - 13t 2010 in Mombasa, Kenya.

A Communication issued to Daily Monitor from EAFCA's Secretariat in Kampala said: "This will also be an opportunity for discussions and search for possible solutions to reduce the cost of doing business, which will in turn increase profit margins for the coffee producers and exporters, which can only bode well in the end for the final consumer."
