toolbar creator There is potential for coffee commodity trading observers to make some great profitable trades,[url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/monclerpascher/]doudoune moncler pas cher[/url], after a UN food agency report pinpointed the need for global food production to increase by over 70% by 2050. Over the years, along with crude oil, coffee has been a major traded commodity, so the markets will follow closely any material change in coffee futures prices, especially when crop yields can be affected by dramatic weather changes. An important factor for this popular commodity is good rainfall,[url=http://www.mquin.com/parajumpers.php]doudoune parajumpers[/url], so it's not surprising that most coffee beans grow between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
Key to successful crop yields is having an ideal temperature range of between 17 and 23 centigrade as well as steady climate and helpful soil conditions. Damage is being caused to coffee farmers in developed countries, according to a recent report by Cafedirect. Because of the rise in temperatures coffee growers have to move to higher altitudes. And the effect of rising temperatures is more disease caused by pests. As beans can only grow properly in a small temperature range,[url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]air jordan pas cher[/url], climate change is a major challenge to coffee growers.
The two most important varieties for followers of coffee commodity trading are Arabica and Robusta,[url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm[/url], with both strongly featured as futures on global commodity exchanges. Brazil,[url=http://www.teatrodeoro.com/hollisterde.php]hollister deutschland[/url], a major Arabica coffee producer, is also the largest global producer with around 34 million (29% global output) 60-kg bags of coffee in 2007/8. Meanwhile, the US is both the largest global consumer and importer of coffee. Vietnam comes in second place with a 15% world share at 17.50 m bags (Robusta), while in third place is Columbia with an 11% share producing Arabica, and Indonesia comes in fourth with production of 7.0 m bags in 2007/8.
Arabica grows well at over 4,[url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/monclerpascher/]doudoune moncler[/url],000 ft in warm, humid climates,[url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/hollisterpascher/‎]hollister[/url], and it contributes around 70% of green coffee bean production, and this along with helpful soil conditions is responsible for the bean's characteristic aromatic flavour. The high altitude countries like Columbia, Brazil, Peru,[url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister france[/url], Ecuador and Venezuela are ideal for growing Arabica beans. Arguably one of the top grades of Arabica is Santos from Brazil, its beans being picked within the first 4 years of the coffee tree's life. Meanwhile,[url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour sale[/url], the lower grade Robusta beans from South East Asia are picked after only 2-3 years, in contrast to Arabica where normally there is a longer lead time of 4-5 years.
A drought can lead to coffee futures prices rising because a crop yield collapse hits supply. Lower crop yields due to higher than normal rainfall may also lead to higher prices. The crop for both current and the following year can be affected by freezing, which can be a problem particularly in Latin America for Arabica varieties in the higher altitudes. Over recent years serious freezing has occurred once in every six years in winter (June to August) months in the southern hemisphere, according to data. The coffee commodity trading observer needs to weigh up all these factors before they enter trades.
The appearance of white blossom on coffee trees points to the first stages in coffee bean growth,[url=http://www.mansmanifesto.fr]doudoune moncler[/url], after which over a period of between two weeks to 6-9 months green cherries appear, eventually becoming red and then black cherries. Each cherry holds two coffee beans. Most coffee production uses the "dry" method where cherries are stripped off the tree. Then the green beans are dried and graded, ready for shipping and roasting. On average about 2,000 cherries (4,[url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister[/url],000 beans) yield a pound of coffee.
Before you take some profitable trades as you embark on your coffee commodity trading activities, make sure you select a broker with an user friendly electronic trading platform. On ICE Futures US the Arabica benchmark is the Coffee "C" futures contract,[url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour sale[/url], and it is also possible to trade a futures contract for the Robusta bean variety through this global exchange. If you don't want to trade futures but still want exposure to soft commodities, you could use an agricultural ETF and track a soft commodity index. With these various derivatives and investment vehicles at their disposal, traders can gain exposure to these exotic coffee commodity trading markets.
