Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply forecasts show that by 2014 the world will be consuming 144.6 million bags of coffee, against the current 118.9 million. This means that, in the period, global coffee consumption is going to grow on average 2% a year. In Eastern Europe and Russia, consumption has been growing 3% a year, and in Brazil the growth has been 4%.

If the world consumption will be 144,6 millions bags, that should include Brazil consumption....normally.
Thus assuming you keep your 30 % market share, your overall production should be 43/44 millions bags, not 60 millions as said. 60 miilions bags represent 42 % of the world consumption.
Therefore, unless the article meant that it is 144,6 millions bags EX-Brazil consumption, something is wrong...in the above maths.
Lets face it if the consumption difference will be around 26 millions bags (144,6 - 118,4) and assuming Brazil will be at 30 or 35 % market share, this would need an additional 7,8 to 9,1 millions bags.
Finally on the minimum price. Is Brazil not vehemently against agriculture subsidizes ??????
Ohhhh...I see....you are against the subsidizes only when others do it, but NOT when Brazil does. Afterall you produce "only" around 30 % of the world production. What about the other producing countries, mostly poorer than Brazil ????? Dont you do exactly the same with coffee, than your critics against the EU/USA and their grains subsidizes ?????
Strange isnt it ? Without the Brazilian subsidizes, your country would produce less coffee thus allowing poorer countries to produce and export more ! Correct ? Is this not the Brazilian theory.....concerning the grains ?

I was surprised at how bad the coffee in Brazil is. written by aesaac,

Ahh Brazilian coffee, the promise of the Platonic Ideal of Coffee. Instead it tastes as though it were made in China, without depth without flavor without taste and robustness. . .a profound disappointment. How is it possible that the legendary Brazilian coffee should have degenerated to this second class pretention to coffee. . .with such a history it is a 'grande domage'. . .how can Brazilian restaurants, markets and cafes serve such tasteless crap. . .you have an economic gold mine and you are producing tin.
