Abstract
This export plan details the requisite steps that need to be undertaken in order to facilitate the export from Brazil of Brazilian Arabica coffee under the brand Brazilia Arabica and the importation of this product into the United States (US) market. The US market is the largest coffee consuming market in the world measured per capita although these figures have declined from previous highs. The plan further discusses how the US remains such a huge and profitable coffee consuming market since companies such as Starbucks, Seattle's Best, McDonalds, and Dunkin Donuts pushing overall sales of coffee to more than $10 billion. It is estimated that the US market contains more than 100 million consumers of coffee in one form or another.

Abstract
This paper examines the specialty coffee market. The author evaluates the position and strategy of the company. The paper relates that the company comes under several business headings including roasted coffee, specialty food stores, coffee and tea manufacturing and full-service restaurants.

From the Paper
"Diedrich Coffee Inc. is headquartered in Irvine, California and currently has annual sales of $54.60 million. The company produces and sells coffee and also operates a chain of coffee houses. The company comes under several business headings, including roasted coffee, specialty food stores, coffee and tea manufacturing, and full-service restaurants. Coffee shops are nothing new and come in a variety of sizes and types, though the trend recently has been more in keeping with the coffee bar than the full-service coffee shop. Espresso bars are becoming profit centers all over town, including in hotels, and these espresso bars have a language all their own noted in this article, with terms like skinny, short, tall, double, grande, latte, and cappuccino."

Abstract
This paper examines the potential financial and social benefits that free trade would have on Nicaragua's coffee bean farmers. The paper shows that free trade coffee in Nicaragua is an important part of ensuring the livelihood of the Nicaraguan coffee grower and the continuation of the coffee industry. The paper provides a brief history of this coffee growing industry and economic statistics.

From the Paper
"On the average Saturday afternoon in Bellevue, WA, the door of the Starbucks at Lohemans Plaza is almost impossible to get through- not because there is a rush on frappiccinos or lattes, but because protesters are blocking the entrance (Ahlers 2002). This small yet dedicated group of protesters is disappointed in many aspects of Starbucks business practices, yet their major problem lies with the issue of fair trade. While this phenomenon is not a common occurrence throughout the country, awareness of fair trade practices, specifically in the coffee industry, has caught the attention of political activists of all ages."

Abstract
This paper examines marketing research on coffee, pointing out that coffee consumption remains strong in both the United States and Canada. The paper also notes how the way in which people are drinking coffee is changing. It concludes by describing how a new coffee producer must consider these changing market dynamics to penetrate these diverse consumption patterns.

From the Paper
"Coffee consumption remains strong in both the United States and Canada. However, the way in which people are drinking coffee is changing, and thus to enter the market, a new coffee producer must look at these changing market dynamics to penetrate these diverse consumption patterns. There's also market opportunity in coffee producing counties, as well as Russia and China, something that cannot be ignored in our increasing global economy. However, this market presentation about the possibility of bringing..."

Abstract
This paper examines the reasons why people in New York drink coffee. It discusses the obvious reasons of the punishing pace of New York life which compounds the need for the desired effects of coffee. Some, it expands, are addicted. It also explores the conspicuous traits of many coffee makers, and claims that there are other more profoundly sociological reasons why drinking coffee is a proclivity shared by many New Yorkers.

From the Paper
"There are obvious and not-so-obvious reasons why people in New York drink coffee. Some drink coffee (presumably many) because the punishing pace of New York life makes it necessary that they "re-fuel" when the opportunity presents itself. Others drink coffee because they have, to put it simply, an addiction. While these are conspicuous traits of many coffee-makers, there are other, more profoundly sociological, reasons why drinking coffee is a proclivity shared by many New Yorkers. This paper will look specifically at the fact that drinking coffee (in New York and in one of New York's multitudinous cafes) is a social exercise which allows people to find mates, to interact with others, and to protect themselves from harm. Ultimately, what should emerge from this brief paper is an appreciation that coffee consumption is much more than merely a means of "waking up in

Abstract
This paper looks at coffee production and what it involves, from growing the coffee through the processing of the beans, to the marketing of the products, and what to consider when estimating the capacity of a coffee facility.

From the Paper
"The processing of coffee takes place after harvesting of the beans. (Coffeeresearch.org) The beans are germinated, planted, then harvested when ripe. After harvesting, processing begins with separation through pulping and centrifugation to remove overripe beans. Pulping removes the green cherries from the ripe cherries. The pulping machine pushes the coffee against a screen with holes only large enough for a coffee bean, and not the larger overripe cherries, to pass through. The larger cherries break up and their seeds pass through the screen. The green cherries are hard..."

Abstract
This paper examines how the coffee industry has used globalization to manipulate expanding its business. The paper also gives an in-depth definition of globalization. It then continues by describing the international coffee industry.

From the Paper
"Globalization is defined as the increasing global interconnectedness of separate markets and cultures due, in large part, to significant advances in technology. Although globalization has many facets, in the past half-century, it has had profound implications on the world. It has connected cultures economically, politically, and socially. Because of this, successful businesses have learned how to manipulate globalization to their benefit. In order to take advantage of the opportunities that globalization offers, a company must understand the organizations that help direct its course."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Second Cup specialty coffee house and the feasibility of purchasing a franchise for Markham, Ontario. This paper examines the pertinent questions that a potential franchisee should consider before buying a coffee house including can the franchisee sell the franchised business and assign the franchise agreement to the buyer.

From the Paper
"The Second Cup franchise began in 1975 by opening a small coffee house in a shopping mall in the suburbs of Toronto. In the beginning, Second Cup only sold whole coffee beans, and no drinks or food. After repeated requests from customers for more products and variety, Second Cup soon began brewing and selling their own version of coffee. Today, the company has grown to nearly 400 cafes across Canada. Coffee outlets are placed in malls, office towers, universities, hospitals, and libraries."

Abstract
This first year geography paper examines everyday objects and globalization. The paper focuses on coffee which was tracked through global processes. The paper examines the idea of coffee as a third world product sold in developed countries.

From the Paper
"Coffee was chosen for this assignment because it is a food product that can be found in almost every household, apartment or university residence. Coffee is also involved in a complicated growing, processing and distribution process that moves from developing countries to developed countries. The conditions in which coffee is produced often demonstrate the negative consequence of globalization. For all of these reasons an examination of the coffee industry is very important for an understanding of the labour, trade and consumption patterns that have resulted from globalization. Coffee: A Geographical and Social Analysis Coffee is an ideal object to study globalization."
