The Competition Council of Belgium has ordered Port Real Estate, a warehouse operator at Antwerp port, to maintain a minimum volume for loading out certified robusta coffee. The order is prompted by a complaint by Armajaro Trading, a cocoa, coffee and sugar trade house. Armajaro Trading allege that Port Real Estate delivers certified robusta coffee from their warehouses at an unreasonably slow rate.
The minimum volume for loading out is set at 500 tons per working day, and is to be divided equally among all clients. The measures will be effective until June 30, 2013, by which date the competition regulator expects to complete their investigation of Armajaro Trading’s complaint.
