I believe that Brazil would be a good coffee bean producing country for Tim to look into because it is the largest coffee producing country. In Brazil, the plantations cover huge areas and employ hundreds of workers to tend the plants. The best growing areas offer moderate sunlight and rain, steady temperatures of around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and rich soil. (Coffee Bean Producers) The economy of Brazil also is dependent upon the industries and agriculture of Brazil. Brazil is the highest producing country in the Latin America in the field of agriculture. The excessive production has also led to the export of agricultural goods to other countries and thus, earning good amount of money. The economic advantages of dealing with Brazil for coffee are, Brazil 's weather can be described as excellent year-round. This is a great benefit for Brazilian coffee growers. Because of their country 's weather, Brazilian specialty coffee growers can choose the processing method most suitable for the desired coffee quality. (Brazil 's Weather - How it Benefits Specialty Coffee Growers) Yes, Brazil has environmental laws that align with the United States. Some of these laws include, water, land and cross media. These all protect the environment and products and goods that are imported and exported in and out of these countries. There is an advantage of divulging the source of the coffee beans that companies use because there are some people who have a preference of the coffee beans used. Coffee beans have unique tastes and do not all taste the same.

    Tim’s Coffee Shoppe should look into Honduras for future procurement of coffee beans. Not only are the coffee beans grown there are great tasting, but Honduras as a whole has been making strides to being a major player in the coffee industry. For years Honduras has been selling its coffee beans by smuggling it to Guatemala, where it is sold to huge companies such as Starbucks. (Guerrero, J. 2011).

    The country that I chose that produces coffee beans is Brazil, and Columbia as the grower. Statistics show that Brazil is number one in the top coffee producing countries from 2011 to 2013. The economic advantages of having Brazil as a grower is that their environmental laws do somewhat align with the U.S. Brazil has one of the most complete and strict environmental laws in the world. However, “the laws in this legislation haven’t been adequately enforced in the past, compromising their effectiveness towards protecting the natural environment in this nation with a rich biodiversity of fauna and flora." (Wikipedia, 2014)…
