Abstract

INTRODUCTION Coffee ranks as one of the world's major commodity crops and is the major export product of some countries for centuries. In fact, coffee ranks second only to petroleum in terms of legally-traded products worldwide. In 2003, coffee was the world's sixth largest agricultural export in terms of value, behind wheat, maize, soybeans, himself boiled the tiny fruit of this tree and drank it. After palm oil and sugar (Lloyd’s, 2006). Coffee represents 71% of all the world caffeine consumption followed by soft drinks and tea. Coffee, along with tea and water, is one of the most frequently-drunk beverages (Anonymous, 2003). The name of coffee is thought to come from the name of Kaffa, a city in the southeast Ethiopia, where coffee is produced. The name of coffee, which is used as the word wine in Arabic, has been accepted widely in daily life with the passing of time (Gursoy, 2005). Another explanation about coffee is that it is derived from the word “kuvvah” which is used with reference to power as a beverage itself gives people refreshment. It is assumed that coffee is called in this name due to its effect to prevent sleep (Hattox, 1998; Ca—lar4rmak and Unal, 1999).
