>According to Uganda's president,Yoweri Museveni world market for coffee is a huge $460 billion,but Africa (the entire African continent, not just Uganda),which accounts for big part of the world's coffee production,earns only $2.5 billion a year,while Germany,which produces no coffee beans at all,somehow earns $6.7 billion in the coffee market.
>The reason for this strange phenomenon is that raw coffee beans cost $2.50 per kilogram, but when they are roasted, the price jumps to $20 per kilogram.Germany imports large quantities of raw coffee beans from Africa, roasts them, and commercializes them to make profit.
>Naturally,Africans want to export their roasted beans to Europe and the US for profit,but when they try to do so,Westerners threaten them by saying that they will impose tariffs on the coffee beans or not accept them at all.
>There are many children in Africa who have never tasted coffee,even though they are engaged in the production of coffee beans because the profit margins are extremely small.The exploitation of colonialism is still not over yet.

And here we are wondering why rest of the world don't like West and follow lt

>>512965375 (OP)
Nobody cares about Africa.

>>512965375 (OP)
Coffee is pricy from wework stations called coffee shops

>>512965375 (OP)
>The exploitation of colonialism is still not over yet.
so raise your prices or stop selling

>>512965375 (OP)
Isn’t Africa in the middle of Mexico?

>>512965375 (OP)
You can roast them and sell them to yourself if you care so much.

>>512965375 (OP)
Europe will get blacked

>>512965375 (OP)
Because this entire thing is retarded. Most of this is "added value", i.e exploitation of final consumers. If people in Germany and co pay 5-8€ for a cup of coffee that isn't Africa being exploited, it's the people buying the cup of coffee at the very end. Then there's also the question of how much of this is "profit" too, since there's costs of running stores, shipping stuff, processing it, and so on. Is Uganda gonna field all of that? Because there's nothing legally stopping an Ugandan chain from springing up and doing all of that.

>>512965664
Funny thing is that they ignore that most of the COST is added fairly late into the process. Stores, processing, labor costs, and so on. All things they do not pay for. Those 460 billion aren't profits.

>>Naturally,Africans want to export their roasted beans to Europe and the US for profit,but when they try to do so,Westerners threaten them by saying that they will impose tariffs on the coffee beans or not accept them at all.
Those beans would be terrible and nobody would want them, it's for their own good

coffee isnt for children

So?

Coffee is a stupid drink. Useless drink of shit

>>512965375 (OP)
Yes, we know the West lives on modern colonialism. We exploit them. And yes, most will not admit this, mostly white people. That would shatter their ego.

Lucky kids. I wish I had never tasted that revolting liquid.

>>512968629
White people exploit Africans then they exploit other white people. They are parasites to others and their own. No wonder most Americans live like shit.

>>512965375 (OP)
because niggers are so stupid they don't know how to negotiate

>>512965375 (OP)
The beans are valuable because Europeans want them. If you don't want to sell to Europeans that's fine, but don't bitch about how nobody wants your shitroast beans.

>>512966110
Well We don't need you Jewish like fucks doing middle man in the coffee business
Please explain rationally why you should profit from coffee beans produced by Africans

>>512969766
Because Africunts don't know wtf to do with the beans to turn them from bean to coffee, let alone ship the fucking things worldwide

>>512965375 (OP)
What uganda do about it?

They're not middle men, or do you seriously believe niggers can figure out how to roast coffee properly?

>>512969036
Shut your mouth and just spam 'it's the jews'.
Can't have white traitors held accountable.

>>512965375 (OP)
I agree with putting tariffs and telling them we wont buy it at all if they get uppity, we can just get brazilian coffee and they can drink their slop themselves in Africa

sell your produces in africa

Around 2022 cote D'Ivoire got into beef with the swiss about chocolate. Now chocolate is all but unaffordable to those who aren't well connected satanists

>>512970771
In the ivory coast? What did the Swiss do

>>512965375 (OP)
So instead roast their domestic consumption, caffeinate the african citizens, and get them to work? So that the africans can build their own civilizations, amass economic might, and then compete on the world stage with leverage?
Or wait, africans are incapable of creating a functional society. When not fucking/raping each other silly, then killing each other and trying to become the next warlord to genocide the next tribe over.
Tell me how african people actually possess a sense of civilized humanity, in which case africans would be deserving of participating in global economic trade?

>>512965375 (OP)
>africans can roast beans, they can build the infrastructure and the equipment
Sure sure, I believe you! Really I do!

>>512971013
The cocoa producing countries wanted more money, the president of Ghana said they will start making their own chokolate but ofcourse nobody bought it so it was a disaster, its almost like the swiss cultivated a reputation for great chokolate for 200 years and the profits are the result of long term hard work and brand recognition, now 3 years later they are in a much worse position than before with their cocoa industry

>>512971866
Went about it the wrong way really.

>>512971866
Nobody bought the African chocolate?

>>512971013
>In the ivory coast?
It was a tussle of words. Very similar to the uganda words of OP. Cocao has gone up 6 fold since. It is a study in elasticity of demand. A 100gm slab of okay chocolate now costs more than my daily food budget, and I eat well. The poor roasties.

>>512972546
I paid $5 for a chocolate bar last week. Is it inflated elsewhere, or is this other price gouging?

Brazil can grow anything and would respond if prices change

>>512972157
Yeah, the swiss actually guaranteed the farmers an arrangement with decent income (compared to african wages) and also invested like 100 billion to the country during the decades but the president took the guarantees away so he could have more money for himself from the cocoa and new chokolate industry he was dreaming about, I suspect the Cote Divo is a very similar story as Ghana
>>512972462
Have you ever bought any product that says made in an african country?

>>512972779
Shrinkflation. Prices are normalizing now though. Just a case study in how fragile the global economy is.

>>512972921
>Have you ever bought any product that says made in an african country?
No but my post was intended to convey mock disbelief. Well, people need to lose weight anyway. Just hope they don't get crazy about the coffee.

>>512972779
>$5 for a chocolate
Same here. I bought 10 packets of cigarettes for $6 on Sunday. I can get a kg of beef for the same price.

>>512973051
A lot of clothing is made in Lesotho. Check your labels.

Chocolates doing the same shit

>>512972779
Uhm, +80% of cocoa comes from that one region. Ivory Coast+Ghana

>>512973051
Africa is only producing 10% of the coffee beans that are sold globally, I think South American companies from countries like Colombia and Brazil would happily step up to increase their share more

>>512965375 (OP)
I'm getting tired of whiny African losers.

>>512973499
>South American will keep coffee affordable
I fear the wef and un and their hunger games want to take all our little pleasures . Treats only for satanic insiders.

>>512965375 (OP)
Pull up your trousers and try again.

>>512973778
I does seem like that sometimes, coffee has been getting more expensive here for several years now, out of curiousity how much is a pack of coffee in SA or approximate kg price?

>>512974253
Coffee is okay. I get 250g for R110, about $6. That is a decent cup in the morning and one in the afternoon for a week. That's about the price of 100g of chocolate that isn't pure cocoa butter. So coffee is a pricey luxury but chocolate is like in Charlie and the chocolate factory, birthdays or maybe if you are dying
