China, coffee, and tourism

The consumption of coffee is increasing in China, particularly by young people and the 40 million of tourists who visit that nation every year. Costa Rican growers are taking steps to take advantage of that fact, said Rodrigo Vargas, of Doka Estate plantation in Alajuela. He added that they are planning to take advantage of Chinese tourism also, particularly with tours to show them all of the steps of the production of coffee. This surfaced in a visit by Chinese diplomats to the plantation, which will be followed by that of high authorities from Beijing.
