Sir,
Germany sells more than £4 billion dollars worth of
processed, African coffee per year. That figure, from just one EU
nation out of 28, exceeds all profits for all African coffee growers put
together.
EU tariffs on raw coffee beans are very low but tariffs on the
finished products are astronomical. This is how the EU contributes to keeping
poor countries poor and coffee expensive in our shops.
