Last year when labor disputes disrupted the West Coast coffee trade the Pacific Coast Coffee Association’s transportation committee, chaired by Dave Weber of Annex Warehousing, kept association members up to date with timely postings during the most critical times of the negotiations.
PCCA has been actively involved in resolving coffee industry issues for decades. Front St. in San Francisco, where PCCA was headquartered, was once the center of West Coast coffee trading. Today most green coffee is offloaded at hub ports in Oakland, L.A., and Seattle-Tacoma.

PCCA continues to offer guidance on legislative and regulatory challenges along the coffee supply chain.
The association provides numerous opportunities during the year for members to socialize, network, and learn about the business, said Johnny Hornung, PCCA president and v.p. purchasing and sales at Incasa Instant Coffees in Berkeley, Calif. Annual conventions, holiday parties, cupping competitions, as well as webinars and other ad-hoc events keep members engaged with the coffee industry in the western US, he said.
