Widely regarded as one of the biggest coffee exhibition in Asia, this year’s 12th edition held at the Tokyo Big Sight (West Hall 4) was themed – Diversity and Innovation –  aiming to introduce the diversity of specialty coffees from around the globe.

There were over 100 coffee-related companies and organizations with more than 196 exhibition booths showcasing coffee’s diversity, as well as new coffee-producing technology and roasting equipment at the extravaganza.

Doan Van Viet, chair of the Lam Dong Provincial People’s Committee, said joining the event for the first time this year provided a good chance for Arabica coffee grown in the province to gain worldwide exposure.

The event, attended by more than 27,000 guests, generated a lot of interest for Lam Dong coffee businesses and a large number of promising sales leads and sales contracts were obtained, he noted.
