“The inaugural event of Coffeex was an expected and timely success,” said to the Anba Agency Abdulnasser Ibrahim, an expert that managed and consulted for the exhibition.

The consultant said the event received samples of Brazilian coffees and had coffees from Brazil in booths of different brands. “Several companies had Brazilian coffee beans. They are mentioned by most of Libyan exhibitors,” Ibrahim said, also pointing out the presence of brands such as Tunisia’s Café d’or and Italy’s Avero.
