The guide emphasizes trade practices relevant to exporters in coffee-producing countries, but is also of interest to coffee producers, coffee authorities, importers, commercial banks, customs authorities and shipping companies. It reviews the international coffee standard contracts (Europe and the United States) and provides detailed information on other legal and financial aspects of the coffee trade.
The guide contains statistics and analysis for both producing and consuming countries. It also covers new trends in the coffee trade: electronic commerce, niche markets, organic and fair trade labelling, codes of conduct and environmental issues. The guide comes with a bookmark listing useful web site addresses for the coffee sector.
