Addis Ababa: January 17, 2012: Ethiopian Airlines strongly refutes the final investigation report released today by the Lebanese Ministry of Public Works and Transport on the accident of ET 409 / 25 January 2010. The Airline maintained that the Lebanese Government had been speculating the cause of the accident as pilot error right from the day of the accident contrary to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 13.

World coffee output over the last two seasons has beaten previous expectations by nearly 5m bags thanks to far-higher-than-expected production by Ethiopia, the birthplace of the bean, which has overtaken Colombia.

Global coffee output in 2010-11 was 134.2m bags, more than 1m bags higher than previously expected, the International Coffee Organization said.
For the current 2011-12 season, the production estimate was lifted by 3.8m bags to 132.4m bags.
The revisions reflected a massive upgrade, totalling nearly 6m bags, in output in Ethiopia, in whose Kaffa province the bean is believed to have originated.
