Specialty Coffee Product Bulletin # 3 2001 – 2002 HILLSIDE AGRICULTURAL ROGRAM P Specialty Coffee Product Bulletin # 3 2001 – 2002 Introduction: The US coffee market is comprised of multiple segments and product formulations. The majority of sales consist of ground regular and instant/soluble coffee products, which are primarily sold under brand names such as Maxwell House, Folgers, and Nescafé. Whole bean and specialty coffee sales comprise a small but increasing share of the retail market. Each of these markets can be further subdivided into additional product formulations – e.g. caffeinated/decaffeinated, flavored/unflavored, Arabica/Robusta, dark roast/light roast, etc. Per capita consumption in 2002 is projected at 1.62 cups per day, an 8 percent decrease from the previous year. While per capita consumption is decreasing, demand is increasing for specialty/gourmet coffees that often pay premium prices to producers. With overall organic product sales approaching $5 billion in the $29 billion natural foods market, it is no surprise that organic coffee is the fastest growing niche in specialty coffee. According to a recent study, the US cities with the highest per capita consumption of natural and organic products include Portland OR, San Francisco CA, Seattle WA, Boston MA, Sacramento CA, new York NW, San Diego CA, Miami FL and Los Angeles CA. The specialty coffee market is highly differentiated, with no universally accepted definition as to what constitutes “specialty coffee.” For the purposes of this survey, “specialty coffee” is defined as coffee that is marketed in one of the following four categories: gourmet/rare origin/estate; organic; shade-grown (also called “bird friendly”); and “fair trade.” Table 1: Specialty Coffee Categories Gourmet/Rare Coffee selling at premium prices because of the production location Origin/Estate (country, region, or estate) and perception of high quality. Examples include Jamaican Blue Mountain, Hawaiian Kona Fancy, Haitian Bleu, Papua New Guinea Sigri A, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, and Kenya AA. Organic Coffee grown and processed without using chemicals (including chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers). Shade-Grown Coffee grown under a natural forest canopy, providing a habitat for birds (hence also referred to as “bird friendly”), insects, other animals, and plants. Fair Trade Coffee purchased from fair trade certified cooperatives’ members at generally higher prices than those offered by traditional marketing channels (i.e. middlemen). Production: World coffee production in 2001/2002 is forecast to fall by around five percent compared to 2000/01. World green coffee production is estimated to reach 6.6 MTs in crop year (October-September) 2001/02, a 1 percent drop from 2000/2001. The majority of coffee is produced organically, but only a small portion is actually certified organic by independent organizations. Approximately 85 percent of Ethiopia’s production is thought to be organic, yet very little of that is actually certified. Although Mexico is the largest producer of organic coffee, only 2 percent of its production is currently certified. For 2002, registered organic coffee production in Guatemala is expected to still account for 5 percent of total production. Growth in this sector is expected to be seen in about 5 to 10 years. This product bulletin was produced by Fintrac, Inc. under the auspices of the USAID-funded Haiti Hillside Agricultural Program (Contract # 521-C-00-00-00035-00) SO1 – “Sustainable Increased Income for the Poor” For additional information contact: DAI/HAP, 11 Bis Rue Lechaud, Bourdon, Port au Prince, Haiti Tel.: (509) 511-0397 Fax: (509) 245-2181 Web: http://www.haitihap.org Prices: Prices for standard varieties of coffee fluctuate widely from year to year, mainly due to supply factors. Current high production and stock levels have continued to place downward pressure on prices. Over the short- term, prices are expected to remain at or under $0.90/lb. Between January and December 2001; international coffee prices fell by 15.2 percent. As of 2002, coffee prices have plummeted to Figure 2: US Imports of Coffee all-time lows in recent months and are currently less than $. 50/lb. 1,600,000 Imports: US coffee imports continued 1,200,000 to increase in terms of volume over the 800,000 period 1999-2000, with a slight drop in MTs 2001. During the same period value 400,000 also declined. In 2001, the US - imported 1.2 million MTs of coffee 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 worth $1.5 billion, marking a 44 percent decrease from 1999 value Arabica Robusta Other levels. Green, unroasted, and Source: USITC caffeinated coffee accounts for the majority of US imports: 1.1 million MTs ($1.2 billion). The US imported 537,917 MTs ($721 million) of unroasted Arabica coffee in 2001. More than ninety different countries have exported unground Arabica coffee to the US market over the last four years. Colombia is the largest supplier, with an import market share of 22 percent by volume in 2001. Other major suppliers include Brazil (15%), Guatemala (14%), Mexico (3%) and Costa Rica (7%). It should be noted that in 2001, Haiti exported roughly 16 MTs of Arabica coffee, a 72 percent decrease from the previous year. Imports of unground Robusta coffee reached 521,546 MTs ($ 454 million) in 2001. The US imported Robusta coffee from ninety-two different countries the previous year. Vietnam, with an import volume share of 33 percent in 2001, was the largest exporter of Robusta coffee to the US. Other major suppliers include Brazil (15%), Colombia (9%), Guatemala (8%), and Mexico (6%). In 2001 Haiti only exported 2 MTs of unground Robusta coffee, a decrease of nearly 100 percent from 1999 level.

The Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) defines specialty coffee simply as “quality coffee.” Specialty coffee may be marketed by country of origin, by method of production (organic, shade grown, etc.), by region, estate, roast color, and/or flavor. In reality, there are many niche varieties that would fall under the specialty category – the primary characteristics shared by specialty coffee are: (1) particularly high quality; (2) differentiated in some way from other coffees; and (3) higher prices than the more common commercial blends. Specialty coffee is also usually of the Arabica variety, known for its better flavor, overall quality, and lower caffeine content. According to the SCAA, gourmet/specialty coffee sales exceeded $6 billion in 2001. This figure is up from other estimates of gourmet coffee sales at $1 billion in 1990 and $2.5 billion in 1995 and $5 billion in 1999. Despite the lack of detailed sales figures, what is clear is that the specialty/gourmet/quality coffee market is growing rapidly. Furthermore, its share of the market will continue to increase with the expansion of the retail coffee house sector. Gourmet / Rare Origin / Estate Coffees: Imports of rare origin coffee remain low. This is mainly due to the fact that available volumes are so small. In 1999, the US imported only 47 MTs of coffee from Jamaica (the majority of Blue Mountain coffee is sold to Japan) and only 16 MTs from Haiti, a decrease of 56 percent from 1999 levels. Estate volumes vary depending on the size of the estates, although the number of estate brands marketed continues to increase. Gourmet, rare origin, and estate coffees generally retail at prices above $9.00 per pound. For the rarest coffees, such as Jamaican Blue Mountain, prices can reach $40 per pound or more. Organic Coffee: Although some estimates are much higher, organic coffee is thought to comprise only 1 percent of all US coffee sales and only 5 percent of the gourmet market,. According to a survey conducted by the Specialty Coffee Association of America and Gourmet Retailer magazine, specialty coffee shop owners report that 10 percent of sales are organic. Some of the higher estimates of 7-10 percent of the market may be justified considering that much of the organically grown coffee is not sold as such since it has not been certified (also called “passive organic”). What is clear is that organic coffee is one of the fastest growing niches in the overall specialty coffee market, with growth estimated at roughly 20 percent per year according to industry sources. Indicative of this was the announcement in April 2000 by Seattle’s Best Coffee, one of the largest specialty coffee companies in the US, that it was expanding its organic line from 4 to 6 blends because its organic sales had increased from 55,687 lbs in 1998 to 74,881 lbs in 1999. Certified organic coffee fetches a premium of 10-15 percent above standard gourmet coffee. The main constraint to smallholders entering the organic market is obtaining, paying for, and maintaining organic certification. Producers need to obtain certification from independent third-party organizations, have a three-year history of not using chemicals, write a five-year farm plan, keep written records for an audit trial, and agree to annual inspections. Furthermore, the product must be maintained organic throughout the marketing chain. As of 1999, only 10 percent of US roasters were certified organic according to Tea and Coffee Trade Journal. Shade-Grown Coffee: The shade-grown coffee “movement” is a result of the increased production of technified (sun-grown) coffee in Mexico and Latin America.

    The Coffee Bean: A Value Chain and Sustainability Initiatives Analysis Melissa Murphy, University of Connecticut, Stamford CT USA Timothy J. Dowding, University of Connecticut, Stamford CT USA ABSTRACT This paper examines Starbucks’ corporate strategy of sustainable efforts in Ethiopia, particularly in the sustainable sourcing Arabica coffee. The paper discusses the value chain of coffee, issues surrounding the coffee supply chain and the need for sustainable coffee production. In addition it also discusses Starbucks’ position and influence on the coffee trade, and the measures that Starbucks is taking to ensure sustainability efforts throughout the coffee supply chain. COFFEE VALUE CHAIN & P3G ANALYSIS Coffee is produced in more than fifty developing countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia and it is an important source of income for 20-25 million families worldwide [1]. The initial production of coffee beans including farming, collecting, and processing is labor intensive and as a result is performed in more labor abundant developing countries. The roasting and branding of coffee is more capital intensive and therefore is situated in northern industrialized countries. The top five coffee consumers are United States of America, Brazil, Germany, Japan, and France [1]. The structure of the value chain is very similar regardless of producing or consuming country. The coffee value chain is made up of the four main phases: Cultivation, Processing, Roasting, and Consumption. Each phase in the process has environmental, social, economic

  • Are Consumers Willing to Pay More for Fair Trade Certified Coffee?
    Are Consumers Willing to Pay More for Fair Trade CertifiedTM Coffee? Adam P. Carlson University of Notre Dame Department of Economics [email protected] Instructor: William N. Evans Abstract This study estimates the American consumers’ willingness to pay for Fair Trade Certified coffee using a Hedonic Price Model and Retail Scanner Data. Consistent with prior work, a cross- sectional model finds that Certification has a large positive effect on the price of coffee. However, these models may be subject to an omitted variables bias in that coffees that eventually become Fair Trade Certified are substantially more expensive than other brands. To eliminate this potential bias, I utilize a fixed-effects difference-in-difference specification. Because the certification process takes many months, I observe retail coffee prices for 21 brands before and after a brand becomes Fair Trade Certified. Since the only thing changing over time is certification, I can hold constant the fact that more expensive coffees from the start are more likely to become certified. Comparing this time series change in prices with the changes that occur over time for other coffees, this model finds Certification to cause a minor increase in the price of coffee of about $0.12, a change of 1.1 percent, -- a substantially smaller estimate than has been found in the past. These results suggest that consumers are willing to pay only a small premium for Fair Trade coffee. I. Introduction Traditional models in economics assume that the price of a good is determined by the desirability of the physical characteristics of that good.
