Coffee Industry
Industry Introduction
From the discovery of small, brightly colored red berries on trees in Ethiopia came the largest imported commodity in the world, second only to oil. The coffee bean provides a livelihood for over 20 million people worldwide with an estimated worldwide retail sales expected to grow by a compounded rate of 6.9% from 2005-2010, reaching $48.2 billion by 2010, according to The U.S. Market for Coffee and Ready-to-Drink Coffee.

The two main species of coffee beans are Arabica and Robusta. Arabica is a high-quality coffee typically grown at higher elevations where the optimal climatic conditions necessary to grow this specialty grade of coffee are found. Arabica coffee is traded in two ways:
• On the highly volatile New York “C” market where the “C” price is affected by the global supply as it rises and falls. The average “C” price for a pound of coffee during fiscal 2005 was $1.04.

Domestic consumption in producing countries in 2005-2006 is forecast to increase to 31.2 million bags, indicating domestic use should be 9.9% higher in 2005/06 than in 2004/05. Using the most current data, world coffee consumption for 2003/04 was 96.5 million bags, up by 1.8% over 2002/03’s production.
“In 1999 there were 108,000,000 coffee consumers in the United States spending an approximated 9.2 billion dollars in the retail sector and 8.7 billion...
