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.“

Tips on Coffee - Coffee Producing Countries (#)

„(based on the number of 132-pound [60-kilogram] bags produced during the 1997-98 crop year, according to the U.S. National Coffee Association)Brazil (22.5 million bags) After arriving from French Guiana in the early 18th century, coffee quickly spread and thrived in Brazil. Today Brazil is responsible for about a third of all coffee production, making it by far the heavyweight champion of the coffee-producing world.Notable Beans: Bahia, Bourbon Santos Colombia (10.5 million bags) Colombia is the only South American country with both Atlantic and Pacific ports—an invaluable aid to shipping. The crop’s economic importance is such that all cars entering Colombia are sprayed for harmful bacteria.Notable Beans: Medellin, Supremo, Bogotá Indonesia (6.7 million bags) The Dutch unwittingly gave coffee a nickname in the late 17th century, when they began the first successful European coffee plantation on their island colony of Java (now part of Indonesia).“

Vietnam: Silent Global Coffee Power (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„Even the Vietnamese government seems willing to concede that the nation’s coffee export, generally speaking, is of a lower grade than that of other countries. The aforementioned Vietnam Embassy press release admits that “for many years now, Viet Nam has paid more attention to increasing the quantity of farm products when it needed to pay more attention to their quality and world market demand.” Another Embassy article explains that the “wanton expansion of coffee plantations in Central Highlands Tay Nguyen with little regard for soil ecology resulted in coffee plant diseases and a low-quality bean that drove export prices down.” In a speech given to the International Coffee Association, Doan Trieu Nhan, Chairman of the Vietnam Coffee-Cocoa Association, described a state plan to diversify the country's robusta-saturated coffee growth and output, growing more arabica in the northern region of the country.“

Virtual Coffee - The Hottest Online Coffee Zine! (#)

„In addition to working as executive director of the Specialty Coffee Association of Nicaragua and serving as a member of the Specialty Coffee Association of America's International Relations Committee, Roberto Bendanya is Nicaragua's national Vice-Minister of Agriculture, which means he is charged with the daunting task of finding solutions to the difficult problems facing his country's agricultural sector. For the coffee sector to survive the ongoing pricing crisis, Bendanya, whose family has cultivated coffee for decades, believes Nicaragua must focus on quality, business alliances and diversification. During my recent trip to Nicaragua, I sat down with Bendanya, who shared his views on the future of Nicaraguan coffee.“

Coffee Association of Canada (#)

„Coffee consumption in the US has been declining, but in recent years has started to perk up. According to the National Coffee Association, the number of consumers who say they drink coffee regularly or occasionally has risen this month to 167.1m -- or 80 per cent of Americans -- from 166.6m in March 2003 and 161.2m the year before. Consumption of gourmet coffee, however, shows a stronger growth, rising from 9 per cent of the total US population in 1999 to 12 percent in 2003 and 16 per cent this month. But the NPD Group, a market research company, says that in 2003 the average American drank just 112.4 cups of coffee at home, down from 125.4 in 1999.“

BBC News | The Economy | Coffee prices soar after earthquake (#)

„There have been landslides across several key highways, including the main route linking the coffee zone with the key Pacific port of Buenaventura. Colombia National Coffee Growers' Federation leader Jorge Cardenas told reporters on the sidelines of an Association of Coffee Producing Countries meeting in London that although the transport infrastructure needed to export coffee could have suffered, the coffee crop itself may not have been affected by the quake. Columbia is the world's second largest coffee producer after Brazil, growing between 750,000 and one million tonnes of coffee beans a year. The economic crisis in Brazil has also put pressure on coffee prices, with internal prices in Brazil soaring by 20% in the past two weeks.“

Ready To Drink (RTD) Espresso and Iced Coffee (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„Since coffee is the number one drink on this planet, it’s no surprise that the US consumption has reached a new all-time record of 79% of the American population. This means that more than 160 million coffee drinkers have consumed coffee with a total retail value of 18.5 billion, according to the National Coffee Association. The 1997 RTD Tea & Coffee in the U.S. report from the Beverage Marketing Corporation, states that ready-to drink consumption volume has jumped forward 147.3 percent to a growth of 41.2 million gallons over the previous year. In the years ahead look for more major food and beverage companies to get behind the RTD iced coffee and tea beverage trend and submit more variety of drinks for the thirsty consumer.“

CoffeeGeek - So You Say There's a Coffee Crisis (#)

„Sounds like a good start, right? Except for one thing - while European countries are embracing this methodology, the US is not, and organizations like National Coffee Association (a lobby group backed by the Big Four) are heavily pushing US lawmakers to avoid making this methodology the law - raising the bar for the lowest-acceptable imported coffee can be. Yet we get more apparent doublespeak from the Big Four - in a recent Fortune article, all of them claimed they do not buy coffee that falls below the ICO's new standards. Now why would they say that if their lobby group is fighting to prevent the US Government from making the ICO's minimum standards more official (as in a trade law or practice)?“
