Bipartisan Group Forms Congressional Coffee Caucus – CoffeeTalk

A new bipartisan group in Congress, the Congressional Coffee Caucus, has been launched by Reps. Jill Tokuda and William Timmons, who aim to promote coffee as a vital part of the US economy and global trade. The caucus will focus on supporting coffee farmers, strengthening supply chains, and advancing research into coffee’s health benefits. Tokuda emphasized coffee’s role in job creation and health, stating that it supports millions of American jobs and generates billions in revenue. The caucus will prioritize three main areas: Agricultural resilience, economic development, and healthy diets. The National Coffee Association reports that two-thirds of American adults drink coffee daily, and the caucus recognizes coffee as a touchstone in Americans’ daily lives and a huge driver of economic value in every US state and territory.

The Hawaiʻi Coffee Growers Association president, Kimo Falconer, welcomed the bipartisan initiative, stating that coffee ranks very high in keeping American commerce moving.
