Anti-government protests in Colombia are blocking coffee exports, according to a report in Sprudge, a coffee industry publication.
Roberto Velez, head of the National Federal of Coffee Growers in Colombia, said the blockades are having a particularly significant effect on producers in the Cauca, Narino Valle del Cauca and Huila provinces, which are in the midst of coffee harvests.
Protests began early last week in Cali and Bogota over a proposed tax reform plan. While the plan has been canceled, the protests continue, with citizens calling for the government to tackle various problems.

BOGOTA (Reuters) – Road blockades connected to anti-government protests in Colombia, which marked their eighth day on Wednesday, have halted shipments of top agricultural export coffee, the head of the grower’s federation said.
The protests, originally called in opposition to a now-canceled tax reform plan, are now demanding the government take action to tackle poverty, police violence and inequalities in the health and education systems.
Twenty-four people, mostly demonstrators, have died.
“We are stopped completely, exports are stopped, there is no movement of coffee to ports nor internally,” federation head Roberto Velez said in a phone interview.
