  • Story Text: German Bahamon, head of the Colombian coffee farmer federation, dismissed on Wednesday (December 4) any negative impact from the next U.S. government led by President-elect Donald Trump, despite the leader's embrace of tariffs and a more protectionist approach.
    "We're not expecting any change right now in export policies to the United States," Bahamon said.
    Colombia is the world's top producer of washed arabica beans, well-known for their high-quality and aromatic properties.
    The crop's value should total more than $3.14 billion, Bahamon told reporters at the start of an annual coffee conference.
    The U.S. and Canadian markets account for about 45% of Colombia's foreign coffee shipments.
