It seams that coffee prices in the market do not reflect the reality, because coffee production all over the World its low and prices should be in the range of $140 at least, but the investors are buying and selling coffee stocks and taking profit in the short term, so the prices go $5 dollars up and they sell and then it goes down again, but I think these is going to change in may, because its when the freezing season start in the coffee production areas in Brazil, and it is expected a low production (the so called off season in the Brazil coffee production), at least 10 million bags less than the last one. These accompany with the lowest production of the 2008/2009 crop than it was expected in the rest of the coffee production countries, at least 20% less and stocks going down, but yes money counts because roasters do not want to pay higher prices they want cheap coffee so they earn the same, that's why they are buying old coffee and its the reason why the stocks are going down, and coffee productions in all over the world are not getting better because there is no credits for the coffee owners to maintain the plantations, so coffee its going to be very expensive, and prices are going to stabilize so there its hope for the ones that are going to maintain the coffee plantations(the ones that have money to pour on), and the investors are going to make more money out of it, in the long term.
