Africa's coffee-producing countries have set an ambitious goal: to account for 20 percent of the world's coffee production by 2030, reports the Tanzanian newspaper The Citizen.
The goal is one of several that the countries at the G25 African Coffee Summit have agreed on. Today, Africa accounts for about 11 percent of the world's coffee production, but in the 1960s the same figure was 25.
