Coffee Pacifica's New Coffee Supply Source -- Rwanda

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, Jun. 27 -/E-Wire/-- Coffee Pacifica, Inc. (OTCBB:CFPC - News) announced today that it has received a report from its Rural Development Advisor, Dr. Paul Perrault, retained May 1, 2005, on the potential of new coffee supply sources from Rwanda. The study included an assessment of Rwandan co-operatives and their ability to become a partner and a reliable supplier of quality green bean coffee to Coffee Pacifica. The report has identified prospective co-operatives that fit in Coffee Pacifica's "Growers Direct" sales strategy. Additionally, to assist in the reduction of poverty in Rwanda, Dr. Perrault recommends dealing directly with co-operatives so that benefits from the premium prices paid for coffee are spread widely in the rural communities.

Dr. Paul Perrault is at present a private consultant focusing on policy, organization and management of agricultural research and on broad rural development issues. Dr. Perrault has 43 years of teaching, training, research, and advisory services experience in Canada, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. He has published numerous articles and research publications on policy, management and rural development issues in developing countries. Dr. Paul Perrault has a Doctorate in Development Economics from Stanford University, Stanford, California. Dr. Perrault has consulted for the World Bank and participated in the founding of Rwanda's National University in the early 1960's. Mr. Jon Yogiyo, Vice Chairman of Coffee Pacifica, stated that "our diversification plans allow us to expand to new revenue streams while minimizing our general business risk. Our growth strategy requires us to access green beans from other coffee producing countries to provide multiple country origin coffee within our distribution system. At the moment, we are targeting Rwanda."
