Kabell Mockbell and his coffee empire

Abstract The story of Kabell Mockbell and the coffee empire that he built demonstrates how the biographies of individuals, and even the limited amount of knowledge gained from secondary sources, can expand an appreciation of the past and challenge popular preconceptions. Mockbell was a self-described ‘Egyptian Turk, of Arab parentage’ living in Sydney throughout the First World War, negotiating the challenges of allegiance to his ancestry and to his new home. He was part of a cosmopolitan community long before post-Second World War migration brought large numbers of Europeans to Australia and government policies encouraged multiculturalism. Despite the popular belief that today’s coffee culture owes its origins to the espresso bars of the 1950s, Mockbell should be acknowledged as a much earlier personage to bring the coffee shop to Sydney.

Challenges and opportunities of new retail horizons in emerging markets: The case of a rising coffee culture in China

Economic growth and a rising middle class consumer base make emerging markets an attractive prospect for many international businesses. Changing patterns of retail in these countries present opportunities for business expansion that many are keen to capitalize on, but also present challenges for reaching their ambitions. This article examines the growth of the coffee shop industry in China—considering its key dynamics and drivers—in order to address questions about successful retail expansion in emerging markets. We aim to explore how changing consumer cultures have contributed to a rapidly growing industry and what strategies businesses have used to enter the market and maintain growth, as well as considerations for potential retail success in the future.

Herbicide Mixtures to Control Dayflowers and Drift Effect on Coffee Cultures

ABSTRACT: The dayflower species Commelina benghalensis and C. diffusa are among the main weeds in coffee crops. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of herbicides/herbicide mixtures in controlling dayflower species and to evaluate the possible intoxication of coffee cultures, as well as the effect of mixture interactions. Two experiments were conducted, the first one in a 12 x 2 factorial arrangement with 12 herbicides/mixtures (glyphosate, glyphosate + metsulfuron-methyl, glyphosate + flumioxazin, glyphosate + 2.4-D, glyphosate + oxyfluorfen, glyphosate + carfentrazone-ethyl, metsulfuron-methyl, flumioxazin, 2.4-D, oxyfluorfen and carfentrazone-ethyl) and two dayflower species (C. benghalensis and C. diffusa) and the second one, in a 6 x 2 + 1 factorial arrangement, with six herbicides/mixtures (glyphosate, glyphosate + metsulfuron-methyl, glyphosate + flumioxazin, glyphosate + 2.4-D, glyphosate + oxyfluorfen and glyphosate + carfentrazone-ethyl) and two application forms on coffee plants (reaching 1/3 of the coffee canopy and with a protected canopy), plus a control treatment without herbicides. There was tolerance variation within the dayflower species to the tested herbicides. Commelina benghalensis was controlled by glyphosate, 2.4-D, glyphosate + 2.4-D and glyphosate + metsulfuron-methyl, while C. diffusa was controlled by 2.4-D and glyphosate mixtures by + metsulfuron-methyl, glyphosate + oxyfluorfen and glyphosate + flumioxazin. The mixture glyphosate + 2.4-D is effective in controlling dayflower, but it caused intoxication and growth reduction of the coffee. There was antagonism in the mixture glyphosate + carfentrazone-ethyl in controlling both species, as well as for glyphosate + oxyfluorfen and glyphosate + flumioxazin for C. benghalensis.

Biology, Thermal Requirements, and Estimation of the Number of Generations of Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari, 1867) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

Coffee culture, one of the main agricultural activities in Brazil, has undergone recent negative impacts due to unfavorable climate conditions, with a subnormal rainy period and increased temperatures during the second half of 2015. The coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari, 1867) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is one of the main insect pests of coffee crops worldwide. The present research aimed to determine the climate zones for coffee berry borer in the state of São Paulo, based on its thermal requirements. The results showed that the mean biological development time of H. hampei was affected by temperature, completing its life cycle more rapidly in increased temperatures until the 30°C threshold temperature, and more slowly above this temperature. Development time (egg-adult) was inversely related to temperature in the range between 18 and 32°C. The temperature threshold (Tt) was 13.9°C and the thermal constant (K) was 299 degree-days. These laboratory estimates of thermal requirements and the Geographic Information System (GIS) were used to generate insect life span distribution maps for São Paulo. In this state, the coffee berry borer can produce 5.09-10.53 generations annually. Higher pest incidences should coincide with both temperature increases and the availability of coffee fruit for infestation. The data obtained can be used to estimate the monthly and yearly number of generations of this pest, for use in integrated pest management programs.

Simulação do tamanho ótimo de amostra em duas fases para um custo fixo de amostragem

Genetic research on the coffee culture, have had great expansion and, in most cases, the samples consist of collecting leaves or fruits in different plants constituting sampling in more than one stage. In two-stage sampling or sub-sampling, designated hierarchical sampling, the population is N_1 primary units and each primary unit by N_2 individuals. n_1 primary units are selected, and each selected n_2 individuals. To determine the optimal size of the biological sample is necessary to have data obtained from experiments conducted well and faithfully express the variability between coffee plants and fruits, from plants for conditions which may vary according to the studiedgenes. In general, the size of the biological sample used may be underestimated due mainly to the relationship between the variances and cost ratio.

Optimum plot for coffee culture obtained by data simulation with known variances

Several methods have been used by researchers to determine the optimum size of experimental plot and control of experimental error, the most widespread are: empirical method of Smith (1938), method of visual inspection of maximum curvature (Federer, 1955), method of maximum curvature coefficient of variation (Lessman & Atkins, 1963). Some methods of segmented model adjustment was recently proposed to (linear with plateau) to determine the optimum plot size (Paranaiba et al., 2009). All methods mentioned above have used data from assays for measuring uniformity variability between possible plot sizes. The data used in this study were obtained through computer simulation data of a uniformity test. The goal proposed in this paper is to use statistical techniques to determine the optimal sample size. We conclude the optimum plot size was achieved by the method of maximum curvature coefficient of variation which showed a R2 of 0.9818

Sociokulturološki pogled na kafu u italijanskoj i srpskoj svakodnevici

Nowadays, foods exclusively intended for indulgence are so often included in the basic human diet. Thus, we are so attached to them that they have become part of our everyday life, recognizable in the culture and the society surrounding us. Coffee is one of those foodstuffs: a drink known as black gold, which had to travel a long way in space and time to be in our warm cups today. Coffee, however, is much more than an ordinary drink that satisfies our senses of smell and taste. It has eventually become a true socio-cultural phenomenon which has acquired specific characteristics and has shaped norms of behaviour in different societies. In this paper we will present the significance and the influence of coffee on the culture of contemporary societies in Italy and Serbia, as well as on the formation of significantly different customs and rituals associated with coffee drinking. The aim of this paper is to point out potential cultural disagreements that could arise between members of these two nations due to the different historical development of the coffee culture that has led to emergence of different customs.

A new coffee culture amongst Costa Rican university students

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify what type of changes, if any, have taken place, in the factors influencing coffee consumption among Costa Rican university students. Design/methodology/approach The study consisted of quantitative and qualitative phases. The quantitative data were collected through a written questionnaire distributed to a random sample of 370 students at a private university. The data were analyzed using Cronbach’s α, principal component/exploratory factor analysis and standardized ordinal logistic regression. Qualitative in-depth interviews with ten students were undertaken to verify the quantitative results. Findings Of the sample, 70 percent were females and 30 percent males. Of those interviewed, 70 percent drank coffee and 30 percent did not. In 64 percent of those who did not drink coffee, juice was the main substitute. The predictors of the coffee culture are: the country tradition, parents, general socialization with friends, home, workplace and restaurants. Tradition, parents and home were found to be the predictors of coffee culture for women; for men the predictors were the workplace and restaurants. Originality/value Coffee culture amongst university students is experiencing a transition, and the changes identified seem to be affected by the gender of the student and the change in the economic base of the country. The information will be valuable in marketing coffee to young people.

Pleasures of the Learned in Eighteenth-Century Ukraine: The Culture of Tea, Coffee, and Wine Consumption of the Church Elite

The history of stimulants and pleasurable ceremonies in Ukraine of early modern times has hardly been investigated. This article provides an overview of tea, coffee, and wine culture among representatives of the eighteenth-century church elite in the Kyiv Metropoly (subsumed as a synodal entity by the Russian Orthodox Church since 1686). The favour accorded these beverages is indicated in inventories of goods belonging to members of this social micro-group that list virtually an entire spectrum of accoutrements, locally made as well as imported (including table services from China and Germany). Although wine and coffee were already consumed in Ukrainian territories, the clergy’s passion for various kinds of tea was sparked only around 1730, when it took consumers by storm throughout the Russian Empire. As medicinal ingredients, all three beverages were also mentioned in medical guides that were used in the Hetmanate at that time. Given that their cost, especially that of tea, was beyond what most could afford, drinking tea, coffee, and expensive wine became a mark of high status. Representatives of the church elite in Russian-ruled Ukraine were able to participated indirectly in the contemporary tea, coffee, and wine culture thanks to their education. In the eighteenth century, being educated assured clerics of a successful career. By the same token, rising to the higher ecclesiastical ranks prompted changes in their day-to-day habits and provided them material possibilities to conform to high-status consumption behaviours.

Ambientes organizacional e informacional da Cadeia Produtiva de Café

Analisa o ambiente e fluxos de informação na Cadeia Produtiva de Café (ES). Parte do seguinte problema: Como se configuram o ambiente informacional e os respectivos fluxos de informação entre os agentes que compõem a Cadeia Produtiva de Café (ES)? Apresenta breve histórico sobre a emergência da cafeicultura capixaba e sequente conformação da cadeia produtiva. Analisa, nesta etapa de pesquisa, a configuração dos ambientes organizacional, institucional, informacional e discute as possibilidades de pesquisa de respectivos fluxos de informação na relação entre os agentes que compõem a Cadeia Produtiva de Café (ES). Discute aspectos das inter-relações entre território, cadeia produtiva e informação identificando as conexões entre informação e território. Conclui que, sob a perspectiva do território, a questão informacional assume sua matiz social na relação entre território e cadeia produtiva visto que, tanto a informação, quanto o conhecimento já acumulados e instrumentalizados pela cadeia produtiva relativos à cafeicultura estão enraizados no território, foram produzidos, organizados e processados entre atores locais, a partir de práticas informacionais e relações sociais instituídas na dinâmica desse território – significando dizer que existe um tipo de informação específica e que determina o valor da informação sobre o café para o território capixaba, neste caso estudado.

OS EFEITOS DOS SISTEMAS DE AUTORREGULAÇÃO PARA A COORDENAÇÃO DA CADEIA PRODUTIVA DO CAFÉ

O agronegócio café no Brasil sofreu transformações significativas a partir do processo de desregulamentação do mercado cafeeiro, ocasião em que o amparo estatal foi substituído por um sistema de autorregulação adotado pelos produtores. Tais sistemas têm nas certificações o meio de estabelecer os parâmetros com os quais o café deve ser produzido e comercializado, alinhados com os novos padrões de exigência que são observados no mercado global. No entanto, a existência de inconsonâncias dos sistemas de autorregulação criou uma estrutura de governança mais sofisticada e de complexa coordenação. Aplicando uma pesquisa qualitativa através de dados secundários e primários, este trabalho procura investigar os efeitos que essa nova abordagem reflete na coordenação dessa cadeia produtiva. No contexto dos resultados encontrados, é constatado que a cafeicultura necessita desenvolver novos mecanismos de coordenação, com vistas a uma integração de dados e compartilhamento de informações entre os elos da cadeia.
