Colombia
According to reports, the government of Colombia has approved a $100 million loan to the National Coffee Fund that will fund Colombia's participation in the Association of Coffee Producing Countries (ACPC) retention scheme. On September 29, 2000, the ACPC agreed to withhold 20 percent of the exportable supply of coffee beans from the market in an attempt to raise coffee prices. The retention plan went into effect on October 1.
