Editor,

RE: "Online coffee auction rakes in over Rwf300m” (The New Times, September 18, 2015).

Please allow me to share with your esteemed readers, particularly with those from the National Export Development Board (NAEB), all concerned Government agencies and even those directly connected with the production, sale and distribution of Rwanda’s premium tea and coffee products, that an international event—World Tea and Coffee Expo—is scheduled to be held in Mumbai from October 1 through October 3, 2015.

This 3rd edition of World Tea and Coffee Expo will have both local and international buyers and sellers of tea and coffee, who would showcase their products and services to a very niche audience.

The International Conference and Workshop, to be held on the sidelines of the Expo, could well further support Rwandan companies and NAEB in their quest to promote the country’s premium tea and coffee products before an August gathering and thereby enhance exports considerably.
