A fact from International Coffee Agreement appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 August 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the US entered the precursor to the International Coffee Agreement because they feared that the declining price of coffee could drive Latin American countries towards Nazi or Communist sympathies?

1989 breakdown

What was the story behind the 1983 breakdown? – Kaihsu (talk) 20:13, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sorry it took so long to post an answer. The reason is that they failed to reach an agreement on new export quotas, exactly why they did that I do not know, but I added it to the article anyway. jonkerz ♠ 02:38, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

according to Yves Engler's book, Canada in Africa, "no longer worried about the prospect of poor coffee producers turning towards the Soviet Union, the US withdrew its support from the International Coffee Agreement in 1989." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.81.148.11 (talk) 08:05, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
