Lawmakers call for government intervention over falling coffee prices
A section of Members of Parliament is calling on the government to set a minimum price for coffee in a bid to reassure farmers who are growing coffee and are increasingly concerned about falling market prices. The legislators argue that without price protection, farmers risk incurring growing losses. Their proposal comes in response to government statements attributing the decline in coffee prices to global market dynamics, noting that even leading coffee-exporting countries are experiencing similar challenges.
