According to legend, Ethiopian found his goats munching on coffee cherries. Coffee evolved into a phenomenon. Coffee usually ranks second and people depend it for livelihood. Peanut-size bean provide a nutritionless beverage by the caffeine it contains. Brazil grows a third of the world’s supply and drinks a third of what it raises. Disaster loomed, frost hit southern Brazil again. Brazil suspended shipments of damage and importers. Brazil’s actual losses fell below predictions. Farmers start to plant coffee bean when the prices of it increase, but when the price of it decreases; farmers start to plant other crops. Producers and consumers agree that it will be a solution to sell prices at reasonable price. With a quota system, it can control the outflow of beans. Although there is a change in price at times, coffee remains one of the least inflated prepared beverages: five cents a brew-it-yourself cup.
