Book excerpt: Excerpt from World Demand Prospects for Coffee in 1980: With Emphasis on Trade by Less Developed Countries The primary question considered in this analysis is whether world demand for exported coffee and the resulting flow of exchange earnings to the less deve1 0ped world can be expected to grow during the l97o's. While significant increases in coffee consumption are evident in some importing countries, a leveling in per capita consumption appears to have been reached in several major markets. As a result, this study indicates that growth prospects for export earnings (at assumed constant 1964-66 prices) are only moderately optimistic-about percent annually. A substantial reduction in world coffee stocks during the late l96o's and early l97o's has placed the world coffee economy in a near demand-supply equilibrium. As a result, world coffee supplies in the early 1970's will depend heavily on the present tree popula tion, tree disease, coffee rusts, and vagaries of weather, especially frosts in the coffee growing areas of Brazil. This study was part of a research project on demand prospects for agricultural products of less developed countries conducted by the Economic Research Service under a participating agency service agreement with the Agency for International Development.
