Coffee Production and the Limits.Taringana Takesure.Pdf Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 20, No.1, 2018) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania COFFEE PRODUCTION AND THE LIMITS TO DEVELOPMENT IN THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES Taringana Takesure Department of Economic History, University of Zimbabwe ABSTRACT Coffee production has occupied a significant position in the development economics of many developing countries. Most countries in Africa considerably depend on the production and exportation of primary agricultural commodities. Debates have emerged to examine the place of commodities in the whole development matrix. Coffee production in Zimbabwe is, therefore, embedded within the global debates on the role of commodities in stimulating development in the less developed countries (LDCs). For Zimbabwe, like many in the Global South, agriculture is seen as the basis on which to launch development initiatives. However, this thinking has been subject to critical questioning for several decades. This paper argues that agricultural commodity production can hardly contribute to sustainable economic development owing to the structural constraints characterising the whole economic setup. It suggests that for coffee production to effectively contribute to economic development strong linkages have to be forged through internal value addition processes. Keywords: Coffee, Sustainable Development, Developing Countries, Agricultural Commodities, International Trade 12 INTRODUCTION: COFFEE AND THE INTERNATIONAL COFFEE ECONOMY The quest for sustainable economic development in the developing countries, particularly Africa, has generated various contours of debates across many scholarly groupings. Of particular interest among these debates is the place of agricultural commodity production and export in stimulating enduring strings of sustainability. One school of thought argues that sustainable economic development in Africa can be realised if Africa perfects the art of agricultural commodity production and export. This argument is largely hinged on the concept of comparative advantage, where Africa is argued to have a better comparative advantage in the production of agricultural commodities than the manufacturing industry. This school further contend that Africa can then use revenues from agricultural commodity trade to roll out various economic development projects in their respective countries. However, this paper challenges this position arguing that specialisation in commodity production is inimical to sustainable economic development in Africa. Using coffee production in Zimbabwe as a case study, this study explores how the predatory nature of global capitalism constrains the capacity of agricultural commodity production in sponsoring enduring linkages for sustainable economic development in Africa. Coffee is a non-alcoholic stimulant which has earned itself a great reputation in international trade for more than three centuries, (Wilson, 1999). The stimulating properties of coffee alongside those of tea and cocoa arise from three main compounds – caffeine, theobromine and theophylline- all which are derivatives of purine. Caffeine is regarded as the least desirable of all the three compounds, which development has resulted in decaffeination of coffee on a large scale. Scientists have also been making efforts to develop and grow non-caffeine coffee varieties. Nonetheless, caffeine produced from the decaffeination processes is a valuable property for medicinal drug manufacturing and various stimulant drinks like energy drinks and various ‘cola’ formulations. As a result of these stimulating qualities, coffee became the most traded agricultural commodity only second to oil in international trade, (ICO, 2017). Coffee drinking has also been significant in shaping the social scene of importing countries leading to the emergence of coffee bars and shops. Coffee is the second largest traded commodity in the world after oil and the most valuable primary agricultural product in international trade. More than 70 countries globally are producing coffee and most of the economies of these countries depend greatly on coffee revenue. Growing, processing, cultivation, transportation and marketing of coffee affect many lives. The global coffee structure is such that producing countries are in the underdeveloped global South and consuming countries are in the developed global North. The USA is one of the largest consumers which initiated and spread “coffee culture.” Besides the USA, EU countries like Italy, the UK, Scandinavian countries among many others enjoyed coffee way before the USA and have had strong coffee traditions and adding new types and ways of enjoying the brew. It is practically impossible to find a single town or city without a coffee shop and it is now a global phenomenon and a kind of tradition to get a morning coffee that would make one’s day better by giving them more energy and high spirit. Global coffee production and trade has played a significant role in the economies of several African, Latin American, Caribbean and Pacific countries. The livelihoods of more than 25 million people in these countries depend on coffee production. More than 7 million tons of green coffee equivalent are consumed annually, 74% in the North and 26% in the producing countries, (FAS, 2006, p. 2). Many of these countries are dependent on coffee which accounts for over 75% of their total export earnings. Among consumers, coffee is a universally popular drink with over US$70 billion in retail per year. Since the 19th century when coffee became an important commodity in international trade, the commodity has been an important earner of strong currencies for producing countries, contributing in various degrees to the national incomes and presenting a basis for economic development, (Taringana, 2014, p. 15). 13 In Zimbabwe, coffee has been grown since the 1890s, initially for domestic consumption and in the 1960s, a kind of coffee revolution occurred, where Southern Rhodesia joined the growing group of coffee-producing countries in Africa. From the 1960s, coffee production increased considerably, and colonial Zimbabwe managed to maintain the production of high- quality Arabica coffee which is generally scarce on the international market.1 The expansion of coffee production continued in the post-1980 period, and coffee developed to be the fifth most important export agricultural commodity in the country, (ZCM, 2006). At least up to the year 2000, when coffee production was disrupted by the fast track land reform programme, Zimbabwe earned a reputation for producing high-quality coffee with a balanced acidity, body and consistent superiority. About 98% of coffee grown in the country is exported and the remainder is consumed locally, which makes it important in contributing to the much needed foreign exchange earnings, (ZCM, 2006). Although Zimbabwe is a small world producer, the country’s coffee gained a high reputation on the international markets and its top coffees are sold at premiums. The extent and nature of the export orientation of the coffee sector in Zimbabwe make it an appropriate case study to explore commodity production and sustainable development debates on a global scale. Nonetheless, the industry has encountered an array of problems that are of a significant concern. The international coffee market is wobbly, world financial crisis making it even harder, prices are highly volatile and farmers can hardly survive on the income from coffee growing. All these concerns make studies on commodities production and export critical. They are a tonic to chatting different ways, external and internal, which can be applied with the goal to improve the industry and raise the standards of life of the roots of the industry - coffee growers. COMMODITIES, INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Coffee production and the general contribution of commodities production and exports to economic growth and development should be understood within the context of international trade. The philosophy behind international trade suggests that countries trade with each other because trade is mutually beneficial. From this conceptualisation, the basic motivation of trade are benefits that accrue to nations and, at least in theory, this forms the nucleus that propels economic development. The idea of gains from trade was at the core of the classical economic theory of international trade propounded by Adam Smith and further developed by David Ricardo. For Smith, the benefits from trade arise from the advantages of division of labour and specialisation at the international level, (Myint, 1977). Ricardo substantiates this by noting that the benefits from trade consist of the saving of costs resulting from obtaining the imported goods through trade which would otherwise be more expensive to produce domestically. This is generally known as the Ricardian comparative advantage thesis. The theory of comparative advantage argues that trade can be beneficial to all countries if they specialise in the production and export of goods in which they have a comparative advantage in. It generally assumes a scenario where there is reciprocal demand – equilibrium of demand - of each country, for another country’s goods. Although the concept of terms of trade had not been developed during the times if Ricardo, this analysis assumes that there would be favourable terms of trade for both trading partners and that alone is the motive behind international trade, of which ripple effects generate

  • Identification of Characterizing Aroma Components of Roasted Chicory
    Article Cite This: J. Agric. Food Chem. XXXX, XXX, XXX−XXX pubs.acs.org/JAFC Identification of Characterizing Aroma Components of Roasted Chicory “Coffee” Brews Tiandan Wu and Keith R. Cadwallader* Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, University of Illinois at Urbana−Champaign, 1302 West Pennsylvania Avenue, Urbana, Illinois 61801, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The roasted and ground root of the chicory plant (Cichorium intybus), often referred to as chicory coffee, has served as a coffee surrogate for well over 2 centuries and is still in common use today. Volatile components of roasted chicory brews were identified by direct solvent extraction and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) combined with gas chromatography−olfactometry (GC−O), aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA), and gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC−MS). A total of 46 compounds were quantitated by stable isotope dilution analysis (SIDA) and internal standard methods, and odor-activity values (OAVs) were calculated. On the basis of the combined results of AEDA and OAVs, rotundone was considered to be the most potent odorant in roasted chicory. On the basis of their high OAVs, additional predominant odorants included 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone (sotolon), 2-methylpropanal, 3-methylbutanal, 2,3- dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one (dihydromaltol), 1-octen-3-one, 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine, 4-hydroxy-2,5- dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (HDMF), and 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone (maltol). Rotundone, with its distinctive aromatic woody, peppery, and “chicory-like” note was also detected in five different commercial ground roasted chicory products.

The footwear industry had the largest productivity gain with an increase of 14.5 percent. (See chart 1.) Three out of the four industries in the mining sector posted productivity declines in 2020, with the greatest decline occurring in the metal ore mining industry with a decrease of 6.7 percent. Although more mining and manufacturing industries recorded productivity gains in 2020 than 2019, declines in both output and hours worked were widespread. Output fell in over 90 percent of detailed industries in 2020 and 87 percent had declines in hours worked. Seventy-two industries had declines in both output and hours worked in 2020. This was the greatest number of such industries since 2009. Within this set of industries, 35 had increasing labor productivity. Chart 1.

  • The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960S Promotional Featurettes
    The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960s Promotional Featurettes by DANIEL STEINHART Abstract: Before making-of documentaries became a regular part of home-video special features, 1960s promotional featurettes brought the public a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s production process. Based on historical evidence, this article explores the changes in Hollywood promotions when studios broadcasted these featurettes on television to market theatrical films and contracted out promotional campaigns to boutique advertising agencies. The making-of form matured in the 1960s as featurettes helped solidify some enduring conventions about the portrayal of filmmaking. Ultimately, featurettes serve as important paratexts for understanding how Hollywood’s global production work was promoted during a time of industry transition. aking-of documentaries have long made Hollywood’s flm production pro- cess visible to the public. Before becoming a staple of DVD and Blu-ray spe- M cial features, early forms of making-ofs gave audiences a view of the inner workings of Hollywood flmmaking and movie companies. Shortly after its formation, 20th Century-Fox produced in 1936 a flmed studio tour that exhibited the company’s diferent departments on the studio lot, a key feature of Hollywood’s detailed division of labor. Even as studio-tour short subjects became less common because of the restructuring of studio operations after the 1948 antitrust Paramount Case, long-form trailers still conveyed behind-the-scenes information. In a trailer for The Ten Commandments (1956), director Cecil B. DeMille speaks from a library set and discusses the importance of foreign location shooting, recounting how he shot the flm in the actual Egyptian locales where Moses once walked (see Figure 1).
