Hawaii Coffee Association (#)

„The new measure is the result of two years of work spearheaded by the Hawaii Coffee Association. "The Hawaii coffee industry represents an extremely wide array of perspectives: five-acre family farms, large corporate farming operations, local and regional coffee roasters, and retail coffee vendors of all sizes," said Steve Hicks, HCA vice president. "We met and worked with the Kona Coffee Council, Kona Farmers Alliance, Hawaii Farm Bureau, members of the Hawaii Coffee Association, and the Department of Agriculture in order to reach a common ground on the issue of labeling. The consensus reached focused on consumer awareness," Hicks added.“

New York Coffee Exchange Overview (#)

„When the coffee producer feels the time is right, he or she can then sell the extra two units of coffee to finally turn a cash profit, and during the course of one of these transactions the coffee importer must not sell coffee so that they may finally have the surplus of coffee that they need to distribute it to the coffee roasters. These transactions will typically occur on the cash market and not the futures market. Only 1% of the future contracts that are actually made take place.“

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

„But why are coffee prices in the supermarkets and cafes stable while world coffee prices fluctuate? Many of the expenses incurred - for example taxes, customs charges and wage costs to coffee roasters - are fixed. The fixed costs account for a large proportion of the price paid by consumers in the UK, while the fluctuating world price for coffee is but a small part of the total. In addition, the big coffee processors, like for example Kraft, Sara Lee, Procter & Gamble and Nestle, will hedge their risks using financial futures contracts, and this will stabilise the prices they pay for green coffee.“

Virtual Coffee: Update on Roasting at Home (#)

„Now that the patent has expired, two machines are readily available to consumers who want to roast coffee the way they want it, when they want it (well, almost). Apparently there are also several other manufacturers of home appliances that have their own versions of consumer coffee roasters nearly ready for introduction to the marketplace. The two brave preliminary players are Fresh Roast and Hearthware, whose units came on the market in September through various retail channels, including mail order, big box and specialty retailers. Through the holiday season, I estimate that they will sell at least 50,000 units combined.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„   Although not an optimist by nature, I left with the hope that a line had finally been drawn in the sand between the 10 percent of the market that is specialty and the other 90 percent that remains undrinkable swill camouflaged by slick marketing. To be worthy of their name in today's marketplace, specialty coffee roasters must buy quality coffee and commit to sustaining its production by paying prices that always exceed the cost of production. In return, they can expect coffee that is utterly delicious and sustainably harvested.“
