Guinea
L’industrie du café jadis florissante en Guinée équatoriale a été dévastée par la mauvaise gestion économique pendant les années de régime autoritaire, tout comme l’industrie cacaoyère du pays.
Alors que 7 664 tonnes de café vert étaient produites en Guinée équatoriale en 1969, elles sont tombées à moins de 200 tonnes en 1996. La qualité du café et du cacao a également décliné rapidement, la production se produisant principalement dans quelques grandes plantations très inefficaces.
Les exportations de grains de café vert de Guinée équatoriale ont considérablement diminué au fil des ans. En 1961, 8 800 tonnes de café ont été exportées, alors qu’en 2007, elles n’étaient plus que 117 tonnes. En 2008, elles n’étaient que 21.
Guinea
The once-thriving coffee industry in Equatorial Guinea was devastated by economic mismanagement during years of authoritarian rule, as was the country’s cocoa industry.
While 7,664 tons of green coffee were produced in Equatorial Guinea in 1969, this declined to less than 200 tons in 1996. The quality of the coffee and cocoa also decreased rapidly with production occurring mainly at a few large and very inefficient plantations.
Green coffee beans exports from Equatorial Guinea have declined considerably over the years. In 1961 8,800 tonnes of coffee were exported while in 2007 only 117 tonnes were exported, and in 2008 it was just 21. It’s rare to actually find Equatorial Guinea coffee available on the market.
