Ethiopia is this year’s portrait country at the 27th Annual SCAA Event in Seattle.
Dubbed with the theme “Origin and Diversity”, the exposition, which is set to bring more than 8,000 visitors and 2,700 exhibitors, is seen as a great opportunity for Ethiopian coffee as it will connect buyers and sellers at the same spot.
“The event will help us show our coffee’s peculiar quality and taste; there will also be lectures focused on Ethiopia’s coffee,” said Seifu Mulugeta, export promotion director at the Ministry of Trade.
Participation from the Ethiopian side that is said to be represented by 40 delegates led by officials at ministerial level will include the exporters, the Ethiopian Coffee Exporters Association (ECEA) and the Fine Coffee Association of Africa (FCAA).
