00:00O café brasileiro foi abençado
00:03dos tarifes que podem chegar a 37.5%
00:07e o NCA foi uma grande parte
00:10do que foi abençado do café brasileiro.
00:14O que significa para a indústria da U.S.
00:16e para os produtores aqui em Espírito Santo
00:20para ser um produto que é tão valioso
00:25para os Estados Unidos?
00:26Well, André, the most important thing
00:29is that this is a recognition
00:31that we need each other.
00:34We cannot drink our coffee in America without Brazil.
00:38Last year, by value,
00:41Brazil accounted for 20%
00:43of all the coffee that we imported.
00:47And this is important not just for all the Americans
00:49who drink coffee, but for all the jobs in America,
00:53the taxes.
00:54So, this is really mutually beneficial.
00:57It helps both of us.
00:59Well, Espírito Santo
01:01is the major producer
01:02from the Conlon.
01:04That is the principal type of coffee.
01:08What potential do you see
01:10for the state to grow more
01:13of this product to the United States?
01:16I think the most interesting aspect of Conlon
01:20and Espírito Santo
01:21is the quality improvements
01:24over the last 10 years.
01:26I have had some Conlon
01:28that has just been excellent
01:29that has surprised me
01:32in terms of the research that's been done
01:34to improve the flavor, the quality of the cup.
01:38and I think as the world demand for coffee
01:41gets greater and greater,
01:43having higher quality level,
01:45Conlon will be crucial to the future
01:47both of Espírito Santo
01:49and for coffee drinkers everywhere.
01:51And what Espírito Santo can do to grow more
01:55in the market and to become more competitive
01:58in the United States?
01:59I think what Espírito Santo is already doing
02:02is very successful.
02:04You make an investment in research.
02:06You have incredible support
02:08from organizations like the Coffee Center,
02:11Victoria, like the Secretary of Agriculture.
02:15You're in Espírito Santo.
02:17So I would say just keep doing what you're doing.
02:19Do more of it.
