"Soluble coffees come from many different parts of the world and the
number of producers is increasing. So is the range of quality.
Originally produced only in consuming countries, soluble coffees were
then produced at origin, most notably in Brazil and Colombia, but also
in smaller producing countries such as Nicaragua and El Salvador. As
far as the U.S. was concerned, the next biggest entry was Mexico, and
the freight advantage made it tough to compete for a time. But now
soluble coffee producers in Asia are giving everyone in the business
some stiff competition. Some observers question, though not for
attribution, whether some of the concerns that have put up instant
plants recently really did any research to see if another instant
plant was needed. There is no other sector of the coffee business, it
seems, that is operating at a lower percentage of full capacity. "
<<?In England I understand that 80% of the coffee they drink is made
from instant. In Africa, I have heard that many people believe Nescafé
instant to be the best coffee product available, because it is the
best they have tasted. They are actually amazed that some of their own
coffees taste better than instant, and I guess this is because in many
African countries, all but the worst coffee is exported. Given what?s
left behind, Nescafé probably is better.? >>

"The Brazilian soluble coffee industry could get a healthy boost this
year, as long-standing European trade barriers start to crumble and
new export markets such as China begin opening up. Mauro Malta,
executive director of the Associacao Brasileira das Industrias de Cafe
Soluvel (ABICS), says Brazil's soluble coffee exports last year came
to $200 million, around a tenth of total Brazilian coffee exports of
$2 billion. "Over the last 10 years, we've had a problem with the
European Union, which put a 9% tariff on Brazilian soluble coffee. "

http://www.euromonitor.com/Hot_Drinks_in_Greece
"Volume grows but value grows more
Total volume sales of hot drinks reached over 32,000 tonnes in 2003,
up 2% on 2002. The record low global prices of coffee, tea and cocoa
during 2001-2003 are resulting in a drop in coffee and cocoa world
supplies during 2003, and leading to price increases that are being
passed onto the consumer and increasing the value performance of hot
drinks as a whole. This is exemplified by the fact that retail value
sales of hot drinks are growing by 3% in 2003, almost two percentage
points higher than retail volume growth in the same year.
Coffee remains the first choice amongst consumers
In line with the previous year?s consumption patterns, coffee holds
the largest share of hot drinks? volume and value sales in 2003. Sales
of coffee account for 91% of total volume sales and 95% of retail
value sales in 2003. The best sellers in the coffee sector remain
Greek and instant coffee ? two types of coffee that are interwoven
with Greek culture and eating habits."

Germany
http://www.teaandcoffee.net/1101/retail.htm
"Domestic consumption of soluble coffee drinks continued its year long
with a 14.3% increase to 21,880 tons. Among the solubles, the Italian
cappuccino classico has been the undisputed market leader. Growing by
19.1% since the previous year, it has reached an actual market share
of 71% of the soluble market, or some 15,600 tons. Other specialties
like flavored cappuccino, Viennese melange, ice-coffee or café au lait
experienced a slight set-back. The actual market shares of these
specialties are 12%, 6%, 6%, and 4% respectively. Export of soluble
coffee drinks went up by 44.5% or 34,257 tons. Two thirds of exports
were directed into EU member states, while the rest went into non-EU
countries. Some 90% of those exports consisted of pure coffee
products. Imports of soluble coffee mostly for use in mixtures for
export products also increased amounting to some 16,954 tons."
Ireland
http://www.checkout.ie/MarketProfile-print.asp?ID=21
"The total soluble coffee market is valued at £32.2 million (?40.9
million), and accounts for 1467 tonnes (AS01 Niselen). According to
Kraft Foods Ireland, it is the largest volume player in the Irish
instant coffee market. Its portfolio includes Maxwell House, Kenco,
Carte Noire and Café Hag.
Kraft says that Maxwell House is the No.1 one coffee brand, and
remains Ireland?s favourite coffee in the powder and granule sectors.

Hungary

"Hungary is traditionally an R&G(roasted and ground market, total
cup/capita consumption for the total population is 454 cups/year in
2004, out of which R&G represented 76.76%) and the cup share of the
soluble segment is increasing very ?very slowly. (2002: 22.42%, 2003:
22.67%, 2004: 23,24%). The soluble pure (non flavored like
cappuccinos, 100% coffee) segment is stagnating and premium pure
category is underdeveloped (only 3 brands Jacobs Krönung, Tchibo
Exlusive and NESCAFÉ Gold), growth is coming from the mixes segment
(3in1 coffee brands) on the soluble market. "

Nov 17 2004 | Venezuela | Coffee Update

consequence of the severe recession and devaluation in the last two
years. The Venezuelan Government is launching an ambitious plan to
boost coffee production by the end of 2007 in order to recover the
sector.

Nov 11 2004 | Tanzania, United Republic of | Tanzania Coffee Update Report
Highlight: The Tanzanian coffee industry experienced an upsurge in
production during MY 2004/05. Production estimates for MY 2004/05 are
45,000 mt as compared to 32,000 mt the previous year. The rebound has
been driven by favorable weather conditions and relatively good prices
during the 2003/04 crop season. The Government has zero rated VAT on
farm inputs to facilitate coffee production and agriculture as a
whole.

of price crisis, which became pronounced starting in the 2000/2001
marketing year. Farmers' sales dropped by 15 and 13 percent
respectively for the two marketing years 200/2001 and 2001/2002.

Dec 3 2003 | Brazil | Coffee Semi-Annual
Highlight: ATO/Sao Paulo has revised total Brazilian coffee production
for MY 2003/04 to 32 million bags, down 19.6 million bags from MY
2002/03. MY 2003/04 coffee exports are projected at 24.5 million bags,
down 4.9 million bags from previous MY due to expected lower

Dec 1 2003 | Vietnam | Coffee Semi-Annual
Highlight: Vietnam's 2003/2004 coffee area declined a little (perhaps
by 10,000 hectares), but production will probably increase by 5-10
percent to 710 thousand metric tons due to better crop management and
increased use of inputs. Although Vietnam remains a tea-drinking
society, consumption of instant coffee is rapidly increasing. Assuming
no last minute weather shocks, Vietnam's 2003/2004 coffee exports will
remain around last's year level, somewhere between 670-680 thousand
tons. Export prices have recovered from the 2000/01 low of $436/mt to
about $630/mt, but that remains a small part of the peak price of
$2,633/mt
