Peruvian Ambassador to the United Kingdom Juan Carlos Gamarra presented the progress made in Peru's coffee policy to the
and other ICO bodies.
The event took place on March 25-29 in the Kenyan capital city of Nairobi.
Therefore, the agricultural policy's priorities are to promote competitiveness on the basis of each region's potential economic development, thus making easier the access to national and international markets, as well as ensuring a sustainable use.
The International Coffee Organization (ICO) is the main intergovernmental organization for coffee, bringing together
exporting and importing Governments to tackle the challenges facing the
world coffee sector through international cooperation.
It should be noted 44 countries —including Peru— and 6 importing members are part of ICO. They represent 98% and 67% of the
world's production and consumption, respectively.
The ICO's mission is to strengthen the global coffee sector and promote its sustainable expansion in a market-based environment for the betterment of all participants in the coffee sector.
