The Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) has outlined radical measures to streamline the coffee sector to safeguard the interests of the growers.
The authority has directed all coffee dealers to obtain movement permits.
The regulator has said all the buyers and warehousemen must obtain movement permits by September 1, to enable them to make arrangements for quality inspection of clean coffee consignment intended for export.
In a circular dated August 9, AFA Director General Bruno Linyiru said the movement permit will assist in tracing the origin of the coffee as stipulated in Coffee General Regulations 2019.
Dr Linyiru directed that all the requests for movement permits must be accompanied by warehouse receipts for proof of ownership and traceability.
