Price for this coffee is way too dear

Posted on Friday January 19, 2007 in Life

I just read on the WWF site that areas of national park in Indonesia have been used to illegally grow coffee (Robusta) that has been exported around the world.

From the site:

The illegally grown coffee is mixed by local traders with legal coffee beans and exported from Indonesia to companies such as Kraft Foods, Nestlé, Lavazza and Marubeni, according to the global conservation organization. Neither exporting nor importing companies have mechanisms in place to prevent the trade of illegal beans.

News like this is terrifying. The thought of inadvertently being part of the destruction of the habitat of so many animals makes me glad I don’t really drink any Robusta blends of coffee.
