And this auction comes in the shadow of the eighth year of war in Yemen. siege, suffering, fatigue, poverty, hunger, in light of these combined circumstances, the National auction comes as a window of hope for all farmers, all producers, all exporters, and all Yemeni coffee lovers. This is a window through which we can tell the world that there are beautiful things in Yemen. Treasures, stories, and immense value.

Our message to the global coffee communities, import companies and international coffee companies is not to miss the opportunity to get the best Yemeni coffee ever. This auction is the first national auction of Yemeni coffee. It is the only auction that represents all Yemeni coffee communities, all Yemeni coffee producers, and all Yemeni coffee companies.
