Chapter I The problem and its background Introduction Millions of people around the world begin each day with a steaming hot cup of coffee. This drink has become increasingly popular among our everyday culture, and has also become well known for having a multitude of negative effects on the body. More than often this everyday drink is associated with having no nutritional value, and producing harmful effects on the body. Coffee is one of the world's most popular beverages. Some claim it is the most widely consumed liquid in the world aside from water. Coffee's success as a beverage undoubtedly owes both to the caffeine it harbors and to its sensory pleasure. Coffee lovers come to associate the energizing lift of the caffeine with the richness and aroma of the beverage that delivers it. Coffee is produced from the seeds of a small red (sometimes yellow) fruit that grows on plants halfway in size between shrub and tree. The process that turns these seeds into beverage is a long and complex process, perhaps the most complex process associated with any major beverage. For many people coffee is just a drink that acts as an alternative to tea or soda pop. For others, coffee is necessary for survival to help them stay awake during long meetings, and for some, coffee is an art that requires much planning and high efforts are made to maintain its best quality. In any case, coffee must travel through a complicated process before it reaches ones cup. It is also a very labor intensive process involving a vast intercontinental collaboration that starts with the coffee grower, moves from there to the picker, then to the mill workers who meticulously remove the fruit and dry the beans, then to those who clean and grade the beans, to those who roast them, to those consumers and baristas who finally grind the beans and prepare the beverage. Every act along the way can be performed either with passion and precision or with careless shoddiness. It is the cumulative quality of all of these creative

contributions that together make the difference between a lackluster cup and a fine and distinctive one. Coffee is a major commodity traded internationally which generated US$9,116 billion in global export revenue in 2006 (FAO). Most coffee is grown in developing countries and consumed in the industrialized world. Approximately 17-20 million households in more than 50 nations grow coffee and, by some accounts, as much as 100 million people benefit from coffee trade (Lewin et. al. 2004). Most coffee growers are smallholders with low incomes and high level of exposure to risks. The price received for coffee is perhaps the single most important determinant of coffee growers welfare. Over the years, experts have debated over the effects coffee has on the human body. And almost always, those who were advocating that coffee is bad for the human health has always been on the winning side until now. Recent researches and studies have proven that drinking coffee has positive health effects. Experts have now confirmed that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful. As opposed to results of previous studies, coffee has now been confirmed to: -Lower the risk of having a heart attack and developing diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, Parkinsons disease, colon cancer, gallbladder stones, just to name a few . -Offset the damages caused by vices such as heavy drinking and smoking -Manage asthma when medication is unavailable and minimize the likelihood of getting into depression -Boost ones mood, stop headaches, and prevent cavities

The social function of coffee is clearly evident. Considered a social lubricant, coffee plays a vital role in almost every aspect of our social life.

People do business with coffee, people communicate with coffee, people enjoy with coffee and people work with coffee. It is, therefore, safe to assume that people live with coffee.

Background of the Study Coffee was birthed in the Ethiopian highlands. The legend goes that 9th century goatherder Kaldi noticed how spirited his goats became after eating berries from a certain tree, so he ran to the local monastery to let those guys know. A monk created a brew from the berries and was able to stay up much later praying. Eventually news of this new brew spread into Egypt and into the Arabian Peninsula, where coffee traveled east and west, finally landing in Southeast Asia and the Americas. And its been popular ever since. Starbucks Corporation is an American global coffee company and coffeehouse chain based in Seattle, Washington. Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse company in the world, with 20,891 stores in 62 countries, including 13,279 in the United States, 1,324 in Canada, 989 in Japan, 851 in the People's Republic of China, 806 in the United Kingdom, 556 in South Korea, 377 in Mexico, 291 in Taiwan, 206 in the Philippines, 179 in Turkey, 171 in Thailand, and 167 in Germany. Rustan Coffee Corporation, a member of the Rustan Group of Companies is the sole authorized licensee of Starbucks Coffee International in the Philippines. Starbucks Philippines opened its first retail store on December 4, 1997 at 6750 Ayala Avenue, Makati City. To date there are 195 Starbucks stores across the country. Starbucks in Katipunan cor. Rosa Alvero across Ateneo De Manila University Loyola Heights Quezon City is one of the favorite TAMBAYAN of the students around Quezon City. They are commitment to do things that are good to people each other and the planet. From the way we buy our coffee, to minimizing our environmental impact, to being involved in local communities. In their store there are Baristas are the face of Starbucks. They create an uplifting experience for our customers and make perfect drinks - one drink and one customer at a time. Shift Supervisors are expert baristas who help to direct

work during shifts and to create great experiences for our customers. If you'd like to apply for a barista or shift supervisor position, select the application that applies to your location. Assistant Store Managers work alongside baristas and shift supervisors, helping to coach and support them. They also develop their management skills while helping their Store Managers run great stores. Store Managers manage their store's operations and are responsible for financial results. They develop, coach and train in-store partners as they work side by side. And they're responsible for the quality of customer service and beverages in their stores. Most of the students and people are enjoying their time in this store because the place is great and the staffs are kind and offer a good service. As of now Their core competencies can be defined as high quality coffee and products at accessible locations and affordable prices, provided a community to share in the coffee drinking experience, and variety of choices. They also value ethics and good business practices and are a leader being voted one of 2010s most ethical businesses.

Chapter II Review of Related Literature Foreign studies-Study finds coffee lovers may live longer If you love your morning coffee, a new study finds that your daily habit could protect your health. In a study by researchers from the National Cancer Institute in the US, older adults who drank coffee -- caffeinated or decaffeinated -- had a lower risk of death overall than others who did not drink coffee. The java drinkers -- especially those who drank three or more cups a day -- were less likely to die from a number of illnesses, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and infections -- although researchers found no link with cancer. Results of the study were published on Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine. Head researcher Neal Freedman and his colleagues examined the association between coffee drinking and risk of death in 400,000 American men and women ages 50 to 71 who participated in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. "The mechanism by which coffee protects against risk of death -- if indeed the finding reflects a causal relationship -- is not clear, because coffee contains more than 1,000 compounds that might potentially affect health," said Freedman. "The most studied compound is caffeine, although our findings were similar in those who reported the majority of their coffee intake to be caffeinated or decaffeinated." Still, while more research needs to be done to fully understand the protective components of coffee, Freedman adds that "these results do provide some reassurance that coffee drinking does not adversely affect health." Coffee has also been shown to improve brain function in mice studies, with researchers probing the possibility of using coffee as a treatment for people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers in Portugal also recently found that the consumption of caffeine could protect against memory loss associated with advanced diabetes.

Still health experts don't recommend overdoing your coffee intake. The US-based Mayo Clinic suggests no more than two to four cups a day, since more than that can cause insomnia, upset stomach, and anxiety.

Local Studies Coffee to go The Philippines produces four good-tasting varieties of coffee. Robusta, the main ingredient of instant coffee products, makes up around 90% of the Philippines total coffee production. Varieties like Arabica, Excelsa, and Liberica (Philippine barako) make up the remaining 10% of total output. Because of their special taste and aroma, Arabica, Excelsa, and Liberica have had a rise in demand both domestically and globally. Indeed, prospects are bright for special coffee varieties. Coffee drinkers around the world have been drinking more specialty or gourmet coffee in recent years. The Department of Trade and Industry-International Coffee Organization Certifying Agency reported a 130% increase in export value from P109 million in 2003 to P216 million in 2004. And the export momentum is here to stay as the demand for barako in the Middle East and for Benguet arabica in the United States continues to climb. Export of soluble coffee to Japan is also anticipated to prosper. Similarly, prospects for the industry, in general, are positive. Farm gate price of dried coffee berries has perked up to P300 per can from P200 per can. Prices offered to farmers are much better this year due to the decrease in world coffee output. Production in major exporting countries such as Vietnam and Brazil has gone down owing to the non-competitive wholesale prices in previous years. With this encouraging scenario, now is the best time to revive the countrys coffee industry. To do this, interventions must be implemented to address the major industry issues. Small farmers have been discouraged by the low market prices of special coffee varieties in the previous years. Adding up to the problem are the senile or unproductive coffee trees and poor technology utilization, resulting in short supply. Yet, domestic requirement is growing at 3.1% annually. At this rate, the estimated required output is 90,000 mt per year. However, current output level is only 28,000 mt. Coffee imports from Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand are filling in the gaps while the local industry struggles to compete with low-priced imports resulting from liberalized trade.

Thus, strategic science and technology (S&T) interventions estimated at P150 million have been set to rehabilitate the existing Arabica, Liberica, and Excelsa coffee farms (11,000 ha) and to rejuvenate 3,000 hectares presently planted to senile trees. New areas (8,000 ha) in the Cordillera Region, Region 6, and Region 12 will be planted to Arabica. Nurseries and mother clonal gardens will be established in strategic locations.Farmers will be trained to adopt improved coffee production technologies. Aggressive marketing will also be done to promote Philippine coffee while marketresearch will be implemented to study the industrys options ahead. The interventions will increase the present yield level of 400 kg of coffee beans per hectare to 800-1,000 kg. The increase in yield of coffee farms brought about by theS&T interventions and the production in new areas will translate to about P1.36 billion worth of coffee beans per year.
