Coffee Market Indicators

Coffee Market Indicator In the market, a belief lives that the indicator covers all factors that can influence the price. The prices reflect the real condition namely Supply-Demand Law (Click here Higher Coffee Price by Insane Idea?). Hence, I still expect the indicators go up, it means the coffee bean price goes up significantly in the next days, weeks and months to come. Will coffee price decrease? No, no at all. No signs yet available. The indicators went up in USA and Europe market. Let’s see the following data from 1 August 2011 to 25 August 2011 (ICO, August 2011).  The ICO composite indicator went up from 220.6 to 224.81 (+2.2%,) with high 224.81 and low 195.85 and average 208.34 Colombian Mild Group Indicator 273.50 to 303.30 (+10.9%) with high 303.30, low 267.18 and average 281.88 Other Milds Group Indicator from 255.70 to 286.94 (+12.2%) with high 286.94, low 250.25 and average 265.06 Brazilian Naturals Group Indicator 234.06 to 266.36 (+13.8%) with high 26

Coffee of the World is now on the Way to Death !!!!

Coffee of the World is now on the Way to Death !!!! That's my statement as a compliment to news on The Specialty Coffee Chronicle 2011 Issue No. 3 which is a publication of the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA). Photo: Coffee fruit looks good (left), unfortunately no beans are inside (right) because CBB have eaten the beans  (source Sabam Malau 2010) On the magazine there is stated that coffee is in the throes of the crisis now because of the coffee berry borer (CBB) that accounts for US$500 million in loses yearly, and it's on cource to get even worse. I agree with the latter statement. Don't you think that CBB can cause no more coffee available in the short future? At least, CBB will reduce coffee production very significantly up to 92%. If coffee growers can only harvest a small quantity of bean through which they cannot earn enough money for their family, then coffee growers will not grow coffee anymore. That it is deadly horrible, you can
