Abstract
The paper discusses the economic fundamentals of the law of supply and demand as well as of perfect competition to explore current and future economic dynamics in the specialty coffee market. The paper relates that demand for specialty coffees has experienced growth for some time, but suppliers are not receiving the expected increase in price because there is excess supply. The paper discusses how suppliers are turning to fair trade market agreements to get a better price, but points out that ultimately, production will have to adjust to the market realities of perfect competition where there would be production cutbacks and/or market exits.

Economic Theory
Demand in the Specialty Coffee Market
Supply in the Specialty Coffee Market
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The laws of supply and demand are the most important determinant of market structures (Economics basics: demand and supply). The law of demand states that, if all other factors remain equal, the higher the price of a good, the less people will demand that good and vice versa. The law of supply states that when the price of a good rises, holding other factors constant, producers will be willing to supply more of the product. Price, therefore, is determined by supply and demand. Economic equilibrium refers to a point where a market for a product has attained the price where the amount supplied of a certain product equals the quantity demanded."

From the Paper
"Starbucks' segmentation is also globally-focused, as can be seen from the world map shown in the following graphic. Segmenting globally has raised an entirely new set of revenue opportunities for the company, which expects by 2009 to have the majority of its revenue generated outside the United States. Investment analysts tracking Starbucks agree with this assessment. The backlash against globalization from western corporations is a major issue for Starbucks global growth plans, and their approach to highly customizing their stores and hiring only local workers, giving them health insurance, profit sharing, and respecting local customs has helped make globalization successful to this point. There is an abundance of work going on inside Starbucks right now to bring GIS expertise in-house to aid in their segmentation planning based on taking both demographic, psychographic and attitudinal segmentation criteria overlaid against potential market areas."

"The product or service in this case is coffee as well as various tea drinks which are to be marketing in a concept for a coffee shop. The restaurant industry is composed of two major segments: the full-service segment and the fast food segment. However, over the past decade a novel concept has quickly been developing into a new segment of its own: the quick-casual segment. Coffee Time has found a niche market product in its mixed coffee/tea products and has planned its menu to include, in addition to fresh breads, such items as: salads, soups, gourmet roast coffees, and other specialty type food and drink items such as teas, chais, and other gourmet style teas. Per the coffee industry, the specialty coffee market is and always has been a fractured market with the exception of Starbucks ("IS"). "

A discussion of the dynamics of the global coffee industry.

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the international coffee market, including an explanation of the factors affecting the market, including pricing dynamics, supply and demand and the role of cartel-like behavior among industry associations. It focuses on a article in The Economist magazine (?Drowning in Cheap Coffee?, 9/29/01 ) in which the author offers some background on how coffee?s latest price slump came about, explains what some producers ? and producer associations ? are doing about it and suggests remedies for escaping their plight. It draws a comparison between the global coffee market and the world oil market, as both operate according to some of the same dynamics and cartel-like influences. A number of illustrative graphs and charts are included.
From the Paper
"Another type of advantage realized by certain growers, not necessarily related to their choice of competitive strategy, is a low degree of operating leverage. By relying heavily on manual labor, a variable cost, rather than large-scale production machinery that entail high fixed costs, farmers across Latin America have been able to quickly scale down production in the face of poor economic conditions. Moreover, these firms likely have lower break-even points than equipment-dependent producers ? that is, they can cover costs even while overall revenue is down, to a greater extent than more mechanized operations. While firms benefit from this kind of operational flexibility, the Economist article points out the other side of the coin: tens of thousands of rural laborers from Mexico to Brazil suddenly looking for work, many begging for food along roadways."

Even though the coffee market has wrestled with increasing fuel prices as well as green coffee prices, it has been able to pass these costs on to the consumer. Prepared coffee sales continue to outpace packaged coffee sales, becoming more widely available than ever before and many manufacturers of packaged coffee have struggled to grow their market share."

Concluding Remarks: Albania and Lavazza
From the Paper
"Lavazza has a mandate to provide quality products, this goal is extremely critical. Since the consumer base judges the company on the quality of the products sold. This is the primary - and in many cases their only - measurement of Lavazza's capabilities. Lavazza needs to subscribe to an international research institute to better understand the demographic, economic, political, and social structure of the target market. Additional research should involve tracking competitive activities, gathering data on key business clients and their industries, and watching the evolution of coffee habits and its impact on the industry."

"According to legend the origins of the coffee industry began when an Arabian goatherd named Kaldi found that his goats reacted strangely around a certain green-leafed bush with red cherries. He ascertained that the excitement exhibited by the goats was due to the effects from eating these cherries. He also consumed some of the fruit and felt ?invigorated?; later monks were said to have benefited from the plants qualities to help them stay awake during their long hours of prayer. Whether this story has any basis in fact is unknown but what has been determined is that Coffea Arabica originates from Ethiopia. The plant was cultivated by the Oromom people in the Kafa Province of the country. Arab traders are said to have transported seeds and grew plantations in about 1000 A.D. (Coffee, FAO)"

From the Paper
"Coffee Grinders Plus is in the process of launching and marketing a new product called a silent coffee maker. Coffee grinders have done good business since they were first introduced ten years ago especially amongst a target market that values the taste of freshly ground coffee. Coffee is one drink that is liked by people in the United States, Eastern Europe and Russia. American consumers prefer ground coffee to the instant variety. Certain demographics show that the wealthier consumers living around the coastal areas and the suburbs have the buying power and like to spend more money on home coffee-making products. 'Urban Professional' and 'Urban Pioneer' demographics, taken in cities like San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Portland, and New York, buy the most diversified range of coffee products. It was also noticed that university students also consume the most coffee outside the home. The middle-aged consumers are also more likely to spend money on coffee making equipment."

Outline:
Introduction
Messaging Analysis
Analysis by Media Strategy
From the Paper
"Starbucks wisely supplants this "reward yourself" messaging with a focus on their core demographic of coffee drinkers looking for the caffeine to excel at their many activities, both professional and personal. This is readily apparent in their TV spots showing the young professional going off to work with a Double Shot in their hand. This is a motivating spot in that there is a marching band behind the young professional and even a cheering section when he gets to his desk. Clearly, caffeine sells. This specific commercial was called "Eye of the Tiger" as the band itself follows him through his morning routine and out the door to work."

Abstract
The paper is presented as market plan to export a ready-to-drink cold coffee product to Australia. The product is named Elixa and the aim is to manufacture it and sell it to America as well as export it to Australia. The paper covers issues such as Australia as the export country of choice; Elixa as an export product; profile of the industry; marketing issues; exchange rates and distribution issues.
From the Paper
"The advertisements will focus on the social and lifestyle issues, such as showing a group of young people sitting drinking Elixa at the beach. This presents the summer image and the social image. It also implies a comparison between sitting with friends at a cafe having a coffee and sitting around informally with friends. The cafe scene is one that has meaning for people and suggests the social side of the coffee drink. Having this scene recreated but in a more relaxed setting puts the focus on Elixa as being a friendly addition to a lifestyle. Showing the beach represents the coastal living of Australia."
