MINA AND LOURENNE AGREE TO INCREASING COFFEE TRADE.
MAY, 5560
Minister of Trade and Industrial Development Bilal Nebehir, alongside Royal Development Authority officials announced a new partnership, sponsored through the Minan and Lourennais governments, regarding the coffee trade. The focus of the cooperation will be expanding Coffea dovanica exports to Lourenne, a fellow Dovani nation, and providing Lourennais companies and corporations access to assistance in handling the esteemed Coffea dovanica. Details about the agreement have not been publicly revealed, they are expected to come out later but the agreement, while culturally significant as Lourenne is well known connoisseur of coffee products, also is a boon for both economies. Mina has continued to develop ties with what some call "First World" nations such as Luthori, Lourenne and others while the situation in East Dovani remains incredibly bleak.
Coffea dovanica became a major staple of the Minan economy in March, 5351 when the Royal Development Authority and the late Emir, eventualy Sultan, Emir Zaahir Salaah al-Mahdi pushed to make coffee one of Mina's chief exports. A significant component of Mina's wealth throughout its history has been its rich cultivation of coffee beans and the Ad Damahir Plateau is one of the few places in the world where Coffea dovanica grows in the wild. In the years following the advancement of Coffea dovanica as the "national crop" of Mina, a series of laws were passed protecting the Ad Damahir Plateau and its renewable natural resource. Since those days in March, Coffea dovanica has driven trade with countries around the globe and while control over the plateau remains in the governments hands, several Mina companies and corporations cultivate the coffee utilizing ancient Minan techniques, both imported from Majatra and local traditions and methods which provide a rich flavor and history to Coffea dovanica. A law passed by the National Assembly prevents the sale of any land associated with the Ad Damahir Plateau and any corporations or companies cannot be greater than 25% foreign owned and must sign an agreement to respect local traditions and local tribes associated with the cultivation and growing of the Coffea dovanica, failure to do so can result in serious penalties and revocation of rights to be apart of the Coffea dovanica industry.
