This chapter will cover the production of coffee, tea, and cocoa, which comprise the primary crops that account for the majority of worldwide caffeine consumption. Caffeine-containing crops and products comprise a large share of the international market and are primary commodities for many national economies.3 4 Trade of such products is also important in the understanding of availability, market demand, and overall exposure to caffeine from various sources. Information is presented to a lesser degree for soft drinks, many of which do contain caffeine and are consumed primarily in the industrialized nations. Another source of caffeine exposure which contributes less than any beverages and foods under consideration are prescription and non-prescription medications, which are described in lesser detail. 

The first reading of the proposed REACH Regulation by the European Parliament is scheduled for November 2005 at the earliest. The rapporteurs for the lead Environment and Industry Committees, Guido Sacconi and Lena Ek respectively, have proposed extensive amendments to REACH. Hartmut Nassauer, the rapporteur for the Internal Market and Consumer Committee, also responsible for the European Parliament s opinion on the REACH proposal, has issued a report suggesting extensive amendments, and in essence has suggested REACH is completely redrafted. The Internal Market and Consumer Committee vote has been postponed from 5 September 2005. 

In Cuba and the Central American countries, russeting represents no particular problem, as they produce fruit only for the internal market and the buyers are accustomed to it. In fact, many of the buyers prefer it, under the impression that it is sweeter—a belief that is not without foundation, since the rust mites tend to destroy the resistance of the peel to water loss, resulting in a more concentrated juice through the evaporation of water from the fruit. However, rust mites tend to reduce fruit sizes and also the size of the crop, so control is desirable.

Initially, decreased domestic demand in. theSG co.un tries created production surpluses, which were diverted to international markets and depressed fertilizer prices. Between 1991 and 1993, urea prices decreased by about 40%. Prices of other products also decreased significantly. Such depressed prices made fertilizer production unprofitable in Western Europe and North America and forced plant closures. 

To the present time, world potash production has been only partially based upon economic merit. In the countries of the former Soviet Union and in East Germany, the potash operations were entirely government owned and controlled. These centrally planned economy countries had constructive, but forced-use internal markets, and capital and operating costs were often not critical factors. Consequently, the potash industry in many of these countries employed excessive numbers of workers per tonne of potash produced. Often mines with low-grade ores or processing plants using relatively...
