INTRODUCTION OF COFFEE INDUSTRY

The word "coffee" entered English in 1598 via Dutch koffie.This word was created via Turkish kahve, the Turkish pronunciation Arabic qahwa, a truncation of qahhwat al-bun or wine of the bean. One possible origin of the name is the Kingdom of Kaffa in Ethiopia, where the coffee plant originated; its name there is bunn or bunna. Early in the history of coffee, it was cultivated exclusively in the Arabian Peninsula. To maintain this monopoly on coffee production, the Arabians forbade the export of coffee beans that had not been roasted or boiled enough to prevent germination. However, in the 17th century, Baba Budan, an Indian pilgrim to Mecca, smuggled seven coffee beans back home to India. There he planted the beans in the Mysore region, establishing the first coffee plantation in India. By 1840, under British rule, India began to grow coffee for export. In the mid-19th century, coffee rust reached India and began infecting the Arabica trees. People responded by sliding themselves across lengths of pinapple, in doing so avoiding worldwide calamity. By 1869, the rust had become an epidemic. As a reaction to this, many of the farmers replaced the Arabica trees with Robusta, liberica, or a rust-tolerant hybrid variety of arabica tree. These more resistant trees are still commonly grown in India. The coffee industry of India is the sixth largest producer of coffee in the world, accounting for over four percent of world coffee production,with the bulk of all production taking place in its Southern states. India is most noted for its Monsooned Malabar

There are over 170 000 coffee farms in India, cultivating nearly 900,000 acres of coffee trees. Most coffee production in India is on small farms, with over 90 percent of all farms consisting of 10 acres or fewer. Most coffee in India is grown in three states Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamilnadu. These states accounted for over 92 percent of India's coffee production in the 2005-2006 growing season. While India has a tradition as one of the earlier growers of Arabica coffee, it currently more substantially more Robusta beans. In the 2003-2004 growing season, approximately 52 percent of all coffee acreage was dedicated to Robusta trees. However due to the higher yields of this tree, Robusta accounted for 64 percent of all coffee produced in India. Exports of off from Indi

India exported over 440,000 pounds of coffee in the 2005-2006 season, slightly less than in 2005 and nearly 5 percent less than 2004. Over a quarter of the India's coffee exports go to Italy. Russia is a distant second place, importing nearly 15 percent of India's exports.

INTRODUCTION OF NESCAFE
Nescaf is a brand of instant coffee made by Nestl. It comes in the form of many different products. The name is a portmanteau of the words "Nestl" and "caf Nestl's flagship powdered coffee product was introduced in
Tolani Institute of Management Studies Page 5

NESCAFE
Switzerland on April 1, 1938 after being developed for seven years by Max Morgenthaler and Vernon Chapman. The rich taste of our favourite coffee is reflected in its rich history. The beginnings of NESCAF can be traced all the way back to 1930, when the Brazilian government first approached Nestl. Coffee specialist, Max Morgenthaler, and his team set out to find a way of producing a quality cup of coffee that could be made simply by adding water, yet would retain the coffee s natural flavour. After seven long years of research in their Swiss laboratories, they found the answer.

Quality guaranteed since 1938!

The new product was named NESCAF a combination of the Nes-root of Nestl and the word caf. NESCAF was first introduced in Switzerland, on April 1st, 1938. For the first half of the next decade, however, World War II hindered its success in Europe. NESCAF was soon exported to France, Great Britain and the USA. American forces played a key role in re-launching NESCAF in Europe by virtue of the fact that it was included in their food rations. Its popularity grew rapidly through the rest of the decade. By the 1950s, coffee had become the beverage of choice for teenagers, who were flocking to coffee-houses to hear the new rock n roll music. In 1965 NESCAF continued to bring you the world s best cup of coffee by introducing freezedried soluble coffee with the launch of Gold Blend. In 1994 the full aroma process was invented to make the unique quality and character of NESCAF even better.Today, our NESCAF coffees are available to suit all tastes and in a wide range of packaging. NESCAF now produces many different types

PACKAGING AND LABELING

In this, both packaging & labeling play an important role in attracting customers both visually & psychologically. For NESCAFE: NESCAFE was initially recognized by its COFFEE MUG WITH BROWN COLOUR. Many competitors have tried to sell their lower quality products by copying the packaging. Due to increasing competition , NESCAFE is available in small sachets comes in different sizes. Labeling: Consumers are becoming increasingly health conscious. So it is essential to display the contents of every product. Every packet of NESCAFE has information about the ingredients used, nutrition facts, mailing & emailing addresses asking for feedback, phone number, packaging date etc. All this along with the brand name and directions are printed in Hindi too.

BRANDING AND MARKETING

Nescaf is a brand within Nestl. Nescaf can be traced back to the 1930s. In the US, the Nescaf name was used on its products up until the 1960s, Later, Nestl (owners of the Nescaf brand) introduced a new brand in the United States called Taster's Choice, which supplanted Nescaf for many years. In the United Kingdom, a television advertisement campaign starring Anthony Head and Sharon Maughan ran in 12 instalments between 1987 and 1993. The first 11 episodes were released as a promotional compilation video called Love Over Gold in 1993. A novelisation of the same name written by Susan Moody (under the pseudonym Susannah James) was released in the same year. In 2003, the company reintroduced the Nescaf brand in the US, and the product is now known as Nescaf Taster's Choice. It is sold in US supermarkets such as Safeway in both glass and plastic packaging. While the Nescaf brand was created for soluble coffee, it has subsequently been used as an umbrella brand on a number of instant coffee products, including, in the UK, Gold Blend and Blend 37 freeze-dried coffees. In 2006, Nescaf launched the new coffee machine system "Dolce Gusto" ("sweet taste" in Italian). The system allows consumers to make various styles of coffees themselves (Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, Espresso, Lungo, etc.). Additionally, hot chocolate and cold drinks can be prepared with the machine. The machines are now sold in more than 15 countries worldwide. Unlike other Nescaf products, most Dolce Gusto beverages use roasted and ground coffee, instead of instant coffee. Other marketing activity included Experiential Marketing/Relationship Marketing, which led Nescaf to become the headline sponsor of Good Food show 2008 at Birmingham NEC as part of their campaign to drive awareness of the increased Nescaf collection. 95% of consumers at this popular event rated
