A cassowary head (representing traditional exchange) and two spears (for defence) are set in yellow over the black.

Russia is racing to contain the damage to its economy from tough Western sanctions. The ruble has collapsed by as much as 40% to a record low, prompting the central bank to essentially double interest rates today and buy gold, after Western leaders came down hard on Moscow at the weekend in retaliation for its war on Ukraine.

Farmer support goes beyond productivity and coffee quality. The majority of coffee farmers in Southern Highlands have been struggling to make a living and the potentials of the young generation in coffee regions are not cared for. It is our goal to change that. We will support farmers and their families to raise their income and competitive position. And we release the potentials of the young generations to shape rural areas of the future.
