World Bank Group | Agriculture & Rural Development | Executive Summary - Coffee Markets: New Paradigms in Global Supply and Demand (#)
„In some of these countries, these taxes alone are approximately equivalent to the coffee revenue earned by the producing countries.Volatility in the producers' share of the retail value will still be more influenced by changes in the price level of green coffee than by changes in any other cost component because the value-adding costs are independent of the price of green coffee. Green coffee prices are the single most volatile expense incurred in putting roasted coffee on the market shelf and, consequently one of the major determinants of changes in the producing countries' share of the retail value. Producers' ability to capture fair value from their output will require that producer organizations and producer countries act to improve their capabilities and their bargaining position with a clear understanding of these two factors—and of the structural changes and the market failures mentioned above. Many countries perceive the commodity trading system to be increasingly onerous and partly responsible for the loss of share of market value.“

„In the third quarter of 1998, the coffee market in the United States continued its second quarterly recovery from the previous year's effects of pricing volatility, when green coffee and retail prices increased 30% in eight months in 1997. The surest sign of recovery again came in retail sales of coffee, especially in the roasted and ground category, increasing overall by 36 million pounds compared with the third quarter of 1997.“

„Research and Extension: Both coffee extension and research are provided by the government. There is no specific coffee extension service. However, both the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries operate extension services, and efforts are being made to integrate the two services. The operation of these services is delegated to the provinces.“
