Coffee-growing nations should buy Starbucks and create their own distribution chain as the U.S. company grapples with slowing sales, Colombia's coffee federation chief said in an interview published on Sunday…Personally I could care less if a takeover happens so as long as Silva and his cohorts stay far away from the cheapo coffee carts.
"I am going to propose to my colleagues that we chip in to buy Starbucks. This will reinforce our fight to defend coffee origins," (Gabriel Silva) said. "What I am proposing is not so difficult. With $200 million to $300 million, the coffee world could control Starbucks."
