Addis Coffee Cup #2
Hosted by the Embassy of Germany, with EUDR readiness in the room rather than in an annex.
Why this one is on the calendar.
Germany is the largest European destination for Ethiopian coffee and the place where the deforestation regulation stops being theory. Lots on the table here arrive with their geolocation and due-diligence file already attached. The room is deliberately wider than the coffee trade. Alongside exporters, unions and cooperatives sit the host embassy’s economic team, development financiers, agri-tech founders, and buyers who came to taste rather than to be pitched. That mix is the point: a lot that clears at auction in front of an ambassador travels differently to one that clears in a warehouse.
This event has taken place; the page above is the record of how it ran. The calendar carries what is still ahead.
