„Within Colombia, the Federation provides a network of agricultural expertise and quality control to insure the highest standards for Colombian Coffee. Around the world, Federation offices work with appropriate trade and media channels within each country to promote the consumption of Colombian Coffee. To promote Colombian Coffee consumption it was first necessary to let consumers know why Colombian Coffee is a better product, hence to teach them the amount of care and labor that goes into growing and harvesting Colombian Coffee as well as the ideal climatic conditions that are hard to find in other countries. The initial educational campaign consisted on television commercials that would show Juan Valdez, Colombian Coffee's longtime spokesperson, in the coffee fields hand-picking the beans at the moment of prime ripeness.“

World Bank Group | Agriculture & Rural Development | Executive Summary - Coffee Markets: New Paradigms in Global Supply and Demand (#)

„A similar picture emerges for primary school enrollment rates—falling by 5 percent for households that stayed in the coffee sector and increasing by 10 percent among all rural households.In several coffee-producing countries, coffee accounts for at least 20 percent of the total export earnings. By some estimates, approximately 100 million people are directly affected economically by the coffee trade. It goes without saying that with a crop of such significance for some countries, the destabilizing effect of the price crisis sparks concern precipitating bank failures, public protests, and dramatic falls in export revenues.The consequences of the crisis in each country and region have been different according to the industry structure of the country concerned. In Central America, for example, a region with relatively larger farms (compared to Africa) using higher amounts of additional nonfamily labor, there has been high labor displacement, as well as both a worsening of poverty levels among smallholder farmers and default problems in the banking sector.“

Fairtrade | News | Press Release (#)

„The human consequences of the collapse in world market coffee prices - which reached 30 year lows during this year's coffee harvest - are now visible with many small coffee farmers and coffee workers in major coffee producing countries facing financial ruin. A revised edition of the Fairtrade Foundation's report Spilling the Beans on the Coffee Trade shows coffee growers now unable to afford the basics of adequate food, healthcare and education for their families as a direct result of the fallen coffee prices. Fear and uncertainty about the future are compounding the growers' difficulties.“

Some of the Mysore estates in time gone by achieved very high reputations indeed but those estate names are now never seen, though one particularly famous area name, Baba Budan, still survives."“

„Venetian traders first brought coffee to Europe in 1615, and 30 years later a coffee house or 'café' was opened in Venice.

Lloyd's of London, the largest insurance market in the world, began life as a coffee house in 1688.“
