Brazilians have learned the hard
way not to underestimate that
feminine power
Says M. Azurem Costa, leading
Brazilian coffee exporter:
II can say one thing for the
United States. When the housewife
speaks, everybody jumps. The
trouble was we didn't jump in Bra
zil, where the word of the woman
is often ignored"
It all goes back to the great u.
s. coffee crisis of 1949, when coffee
on the grocer's shelf scared to
more than, a dollar pound.
Shortage? Far from it. Costa
who's been in the trade 48 years,
explains:
1--WE had a coffee boom here and
exported more than IL million bags
of 1872 pounds each to the United
States.
After that we priced ourselves
right out of the market. We raised
our prices and housewives revolted.
They bought instant coffee and
tea"
The American coffee industry
took the hint. Looking for cheaper
coffee to pacify the housewife, i'm
porters turned to Africa. Now, both
Brazilian expOrts-and prices
are down.
I'VE didn't take the hint, says
Costa.
Brazilians have been hit hard by
the African coffee trade and they
can't understand it. That's because
they like coffee strong, black and
heavily sugared The coffee Ameri-
cans drink is blended with an Afri-
can grade Brazilians consider
tasteless.
Despite this opinion, Africa has
become Brazil's biggest competi-
tor in the coffee market. Although
Brazil lowered it's prices, there are
still these differences at Wholesale:

production at some Sc million bags
and consumption only 81 million,
that's a lot of coffee left over.
Costa says the solution is for
Brazilians to become better sales
men. Brazil, combing the world for
buyers for it's current 25 million
bag surplus, recently sold a quaint
ity of coffee to the Soviet Union. 1t
also is trying to sell to tea-drink-
ing Japan.
"We should give it away to let
people in other parts of the world
see how good it is" Costa says.
Sooner or later, they may want to
buy it-then we'll be back in busi-
ness again."

Better Brew for You

Want a better cup of coffee?
Here are tips from Brazilian
coffee expert NJ. Azurem Costa:
Buy good coffee.
The percolator pot is good but
the drip type is better.
Whichever you prefer, use a
glass coffee-maker. Metal dis
torts the flavor.
Always use fresh water. Don't
boil it too long before pouring
into drip-type pots.
Coffee without cream is best.
But if you use it, go easy so the
flavor of the coffee comes
through.
