State Department officials in Washington have denied allegations that the Brazilian government has done anything to drive the price of coffee to artificially high levels Brazil is the leading nation, with about half of the worlds production. Richmond said Brazils chief weapon in this price war against American consumers has been steep increases in its coffee export taxes He said the cables also reveal that at least twice , withm the last year Brazil has entered the international coffee market to try to purchase large quantities of coffee from Angola and El Salvador m an apparent attempt to prop up world prices A State Department witness planned to repeat the departments position. In testimony prepared for delivery later in the hearing. Asst. Secretary of State Julius L. Katz said To the best of our knowledge, no coffee producing country is pursuing policies which restrict or inhibit the export of coffee to world markets. He said there is no present shortage of coffee, but the 1975 frost in Brazil has diminished stockpiles. The lower stockpiles in turn have led to higher prices, he said. The subcommittees were hearing from represen- tatives of consumer groups and government agencies as well as coffee producers, importers and retailers The American consumer has a right to be alarmed, not only ever the skyrocketing eostu of coffee but over the federal governments apparent inability to explain the increases and formulate a plan to combat and minimize any such future price increases, said Rep Benjamm S. Rosenthal, D-- Y. Rosenthal and Rep. Fred Richmond, D-- Y , who chair the joint hearings, have promised that, The entire flow of coffee, from the tropics to the kitchen, will be thoroughly examined. Retail coffee prices have increased from an average of $1 23 per pound in 1974 to over $3 and some experts say the price may reach $5 coffee-producin- g I f MR AND MRS.
