Global Exchange : US Plans to Rejoin International Coffee Organization (#)
„"Coffee plays a crucial role in the economic health of communities in poor countries all over the world," Petchers said. "If the US steps of up to the plate, they might be able to put serious money into development programs that would increase the share of the price of coffee farmers receive." Robert Nelson, president and CEO of the National Coffee Association, said the US had made a "historic decision." "I believe the main goal of representatives from US government when they go to the ICO will be to promote, policies and practices that ultimately create an environment where farmers can affectively compete in the global marketplace," Nelson said. "US membership, through taking an active leadership role, can very much ensure future sustainability of the worldwide coffee industry." The US was a founding member of the ICO in 1963, but it left the group in 1993 to protest what it regarded as one group impeding the free market system. Some believe the ICO's approach has appeared more market-oriented in recent years.“

Tea & Coffee 02/00 - World News
„There is no reason to count on serious growth in the coffee market in 2000, or at least until the presidential elections, the specialists said. The experts noted that along with the shrinking of the coffee market, in fall 1998 demand for cheaper coffee drinks, in which the coffee is practically or totally replaced by barley, rye or chicory, soared. Due to this trend, Swiss Nestle launched two coffee drinks on the Russian market.“
