BBC NEWS | Business | Why cheap beans don't make cheap coffee

  „The importer, which is usually a major trading company, will then incur port and customs charges before the coffee moves to a large coffee roasting company. In the UK, where many people prefer instant coffee, the coffee beans go through a costly spray-drying or freeze-drying process. Alternatively, the coffee is roasted and ground to make filter coffee. Only then will the coffee tins and jars be filled, labelled and transported to the supermarket shelves or to the coffee shops.“

BBC News | WALES | Welsh industry's year of highs and lows

  „Raw materials purchased in expensive dollars, are then turned into steel priced in sterling and have to compete against cheaper Euro-zone competition. These same circumstances have taken a toll in other industries, such as motor components, consumer electronics and textiles, with major firms like Krupps Camford, Sony, Alcan, Panasonic and Courtaulds all being forced to cut back heavily. Significantly, membership of the euro stopped being seen as a panacea to industry's troubles. The UK enjoyed a healthy trade surplus against euro-zone economies; evidence that, despite the travails of manufacturing, "UK Plc" continued to enjoy a period of relative buoyancy.“
