Narendra Modi Premier ministre de l'Inde parle d'Araku Coffee

Araku, a coffee praised by the Indian government

“If you are a coffee lover from any part of the world, I invite you to taste Araku coffee from Andhra Pradesh. It will leave you speechless.” Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India.
During the 111th episode of 'Mann ki Baat', a radio program hosted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself, he spoke about Araku coffee. He praised its “rich flavors and aromas”, remembering a coffee shared with the chief minister of Andra Pradesh, the region where the Araku Valley is located. He was delighted with the international success of Araku coffee but also with the improvement in the lives of farmers in the valley. He highlights the crucial role that the cooperative plays in increasing the income of farmers who grow Araku coffee.

Prime Minister Modi also recalls that Araku coffee had already been well received at the G20. Indeed following the end of the summit in Delhi, the Indian government decided to offer Araku coffee to the leaders present. A choice welcomed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Araku, Anand Mahindra. He explains that he is very proud of Araku coffee, which represents Indian excellence internationally.

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal followed in Prime Minister Modi's footsteps and in turn praised Araku coffee and described it as "second to none". It is important to note that Araku coffee had already been granted a 'Geographical Indication' (or GI) label in 2019 by the Indian government. This label is similar to the AOP label in France and makes it possible to control and protect the designation and origin of Araku coffee.
