Unlike many commodities, shifts in coffee supply and demand are not prone to price changes A coffee tree can provide enough coffee beans to fill a one-pound ground coffee during each growing season. Coffee beans are the seeds of cherry-sized berried, the fruit of the coffee tree. It takes 3 to 5 years after planting a coffee tree before it can produce marketable coffee beans. The bulk of world coffee production comes from the tropical highlands of the Western Hemisphere and in the low, hot areas of Africa and Asia. South and Central America produce the majority of coffee traded in the world commerce. The world‘s major coffee producers are Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, and Indonesia. http://www.tradertech.com/information/coffeetrading.asp 25

History of Market The United States is the world‘s largest importer of coffee: Kraft, Nestl, Procter & Gamble, and Sara Lee are the major roaster companies that account for about 50% of all annual production of coffee. Demand of coffee is price inelastic: when coffee prices rise, people do not reduce their coffee consumption.
