Press Release Summary = Coffee Pacifica announces another origin of coffee, Jamaica
Press Release Body = Las Vegas, Nevada, Coffee Pacifica, Inc. (OTCBB: CFPC) announced today that pursuant an agreement with the Blue Mountain Coffee Co-Operative Society Ltd ("BMCC") of Jamaica, Coffee Pacifica will be the exclusive world-wide marketer and distributor of the "Penlyne Castle" brand "Jamaican Blue Mountain" coffee beans produced by BMCC in Jamaica.
BMCC is a Jamaican incorporated society that has been actively involved in the production and exportation of the Jamaican coffee since 1949. BMCC represents approximately 3,000 coffee farmers within the Blue Mountain coffee region of Jamaica. BMCC was established to enhance and improve the economic benefits of its members.
"Joining Coffee Pacifica's distribution system allows us to participate globally on a "Growers Direct" basis to increase visibility, demand and prices for our world renowned "Jamaica Blue Mountain" green beans. Coffee Pacifica's "Growers Direct" system will enhance price paid to our 3,000 co-operative farmers who represent approximately 30% of the "Jamaica Blue Mountain" green bean annual production" stated O'Neil Blake, General Manager of BMCC.
Terry Klassen, CEO of Coffee Pacifica, stated "It is our goal to expand and add coffees from other origins to our current PNG coffee. Supply of high quality green beans from Jamaica is expected to increase revenue, cash flow, and earnings for Coffee Pacifica while maximizing value for the shareholders."
As previously reported in a press release on September 20, 2006, Coffee Pacifica has elected not to proceed with the acquisition of a coffee roasting company with approximately 50 retail franchised locations and a coffee roasting and wholesale operation. Coffee Pacifica continues to explore economically viable potential acquisition opportunities to assist in the development of a "Tree to Cup" vertically integrated coffee company.
