In recent years, due to the proliferation of counterfeit and shoddy products in Jamaica's domestic market, the income of Jamaica coffee farmers last year was even lower than that of 2006. Although the price of non-blue mountain coffee last year was close to that of 2008, the export income was only 46% of that of 2008.
In order to ensure the same quality of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee sold domestically and internationally in Jamaica, the Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority will take action nationwide from September 1, 2011 to rectify the domestic market and crack down on counterfeit "100% Blue Mountain Coffee" and counterfeit brand coffee without authorization from the Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority. All counterfeit and inferior Blue Mountain coffee will be removed from shelves.
Consumers of the domestic coffee market in Jamaica are primarily international tourists. In the past, Jamaica exported the best coffee and allowed inferior coffee to be sold domestically. Now, Jamaica will take action to eliminate inferior and counterfeit Blue Mountain coffee from the domestic market to ensure that the quality of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee in the international and domestic markets is consistent.
