This is meant to be an emergency stockpile to ward off mass starvation, in various disaster scenarios. I know it's hard for us to imagine in modern times, but during desperate situations like war, people literally die of starvation. When faced with a situation like that, you'll be very glad that the government elected to store 15,300 tonnes of additional food instead of coffee.
