This evening Mr. J. W. F. Rowe is to give the second of his two talks on coffee. They cover a wide ground. The sources of production. The influence of the Brazilian crop on the price of coffee. The crop cycle and its results when merchants stored their surplus of a bumper crop. The Valorisation Scheme and its history up to 1929.
Then listeners are to hear about the difficulties that face the industry, and finally Mr. Rowe will sum up with a review of the results achieved and the outlook.
