| The objective of this article was to evaluate the yield and risk in the production and storage of the Arabian coffee. Cash flows are elaborated for coffee production in two productive systems, one with low productivity and other with high productivity. Twelve different scenarios are simulated, each one representing the returns and risks in the production and storage for every month of the year. The financial indicators Payback Period (PP), Net Present Value (VPL) and Internal Rate of Return (TIR) and the indicator Average Cost (CMe), suggest that high productivity is important to increase profitability and to decrease the activity risk, being the best periods to sale coffee, on the part of the producers, the months that precede the harvest, January,... |

| This piece of work is directed to an analysis on the factors which determine the competitiveness in te coffee agro-business in the southern portion of the state of Minas Gerais. The “Diamond”model, as described by Michael E. Porter, which preconizes a group of four determinating factors which contribute for the development of international competitivity of a given industrial activity, was used in the study. The results allow to state that such determinating factors do contribute positively for the development of competitiveness of coffee agro-business organizations in the south of Minas Gerais. |

| Differentiation through added value improvement has been explored by strategy and marketing literature. However, because of the distance between growers, final-consumers and technical features not always easily understood by the consumers, differentiation attributes adopted in agricultural production may not be perceived or valorized by the consumers. The article aims to verify whether the strategies of differentiation of rural coffee growers, through the introduction of products that value the origin or the production process have been noticed by Brazilian consumers. For that purpose, a research was conducted with 300 upper-crust consumers in coffee shops and supermarkets in the capital of the state of São Paulo in March and April 2005. The results... |

| Most Rwandan coffee is currently grown and processed the same way it was a decade ago. Consequently, Rwanda’s coffee production and marketing system has not been able to keep up with changes in the global market for high quality coffee. Given world market gluts of relatively poor quality coffee, Rwanda is now exporting a product that fetches low prices. Despite the challenges in coffee marketing and production, coffee remains one of Rwanda’s most important official sources of foreign exchange and the drop in production is of major concern to both the public and private sectors. In an effort to assist decision makers in the coffee sector better understand factors affecting farmers’ production decisions and their attitudes about coffee, the FSRP fielded a... |

| The commodity nature of green coffee is the main cause of “the coffee paradox” (decreasing prices at production level and rising prices at consumption level). So, a requirement to reach a less unfair distribution of the added value between the supply chain would be to “decommodify” the coffee market not only at the final consumer level, but also at the production level. Certifications (like Fair Trade, Organic, Rainforest Alliance, Utz Kapeh, or Birdfriend) are often presented as a way to reach this result, but according to some authors these schemes seem to be rather an extension of the standardization wave to new quality attributes (linked to social and/or environmental characteristics of the production process). Geographical indications (GIs) seems to... |

| In this paper, using pseudo panel data we analyze the relation between cigarette, alcohol, and coffee consumption within the rational addiction framework. Our purpose in this study is twofold. First, we want to get more insights about behavioral processes concerning cigarette, alcohol and coffee consumption. Second, we hope that our attempt to generalize rational addiction model to include three addictive goods will be useful to generate further research in the related literature. We found that cross price elasticity of cigarette with respect to alcohol price is negative, while cross price elasticity of alcohol with respect to cigarette price is positive. We believe that drinking works as a trigger for smoking especially in social settings like bars while... |

| We explore how globalization, broadly conceived to include international human-rights norms, humanitarianism, and alternative trade, might influence peaceful and food-secure outlooks and outcomes. The paper draws on our previous work on conflict as a cause and effect of hunger and also looks at agricultural exports as war commodities. We review studies on the relationships between (1) conflict and food insecurity, (2) conflict and globalization, and (3) globalization and food insecurity. Next, we analyze country-level, historical contexts where export crops, such as coffee and cotton, have been implicated in triggering and perpetuating conflict. These cases suggest that it is not export cropping per se, but production and trade structures and food and... |

| This piece of work objectified a historical analysis on the introduction and the widespread of coffee in the southern region of Minas Gerais. Considered as objects of historygraphic study were literary works, documents, journalistic, memorialistic, biographic, documental and didactic oriented texts. Yet another method used was the quantitative one, besides orally reported pieces of historical nature as well as life history which completed the official documentation. Our empiric investigation object was the southern side of Minas Gerais, the study’s theme being the historic development of coffee in such region. The widespread of coffee in the region caused the arisal of a new landscape profile- the coffee landscape. Self-supporting farms arised on sites... |

| Devido à dificuldade de introduzir novas tecnologias no setor rural, este estudo buscou identificar os fatores que contribuíram e dificultaram o processo de adoção de sistemas de informações em empresas rurais. Os objetos de estudo foram seis empresas cafeeiras situadas na região Sul de Minas Gerais que adotaram dois sistemas de informação (SI). Utilizaram-se como instrumentos de coleta de dados observações, análise documental e entrevistas com o responsável pela área de informática, gerentes e diretores. Após a comparação dos casos estudados, concluiu-se que: os fatores que comprometeram o processo de adoção foram categorizadas em limitação financeira, baixa formação dos operadores, falta de recursos tecnológicos, incompatibilidade de horários entre... |

| A rich data set of coffee prices and costs was used to determine to what extent changes in commodity costs affect manufacturer and retail prices. On average, a 10-cent increase in the cost of a pound of green coffee beans in a given quarter results in a 2-cent increase in manufacturer and retail prices in that quarter. If a cost change persists for several quarters, it will be incorporated into manufacturer prices approximately cent-forcent with the commodity-cost change. Given the substantial fixed costs and markups involved in coffee manufacturing, this translates into about a 3-percent change in retail prices for a 10-percent change in commodity prices. We do not find robust evidence that coffee prices respond more to increases than to decreases in costs. |
