RECOMMENDATIONS
Nestl slightly outperforms the global hot drinks market in 2013

Nestl continued to outperform the global hot drinks market in 2013, thanks to healthy growth in instant
coffee in major emerging markets and expansion in pods in developed markets. Its strong growth continued
to be supported by Nespresso, Nescaf Dolce Gusto and Nescaf. Nestl will face a greater challenge
following the merger between Mondelezs coffee unit and DEMB.
Mondelez marginally outpaced the market thanks to the strong performance of the beverage system brand
Tassimo. Its multi-beverage capability and relative affordability compared to Nespresso helped it appeal to
the mass market and secure healthy volume sales. The availability of Tassimo in grocery stores has also
proved an advantage in targeting mass-market consumers.
DEMBs overall performance was hampered to some extent by its limited geographic presence and slow
sales of Senseo, which has been one of the losers in the global single-serve coffee boom in recent years.

2012-2013
Going forward, DEMBs acquisition of Norways Kaffehuset Friele may help its development of single-origin
coffee beans in European markets. However, Keurigs expanded collaboration with established brands and
its potential interests in international markets are likely to see it emerge as an international player in the
medium term.

Compared to soft drinks, hot drinks is a very fragmented industry,

with the top 10 hot drinks players making up only 38% of the global
market in 2013. Nestl continues to occupy the top spot in the global
hot drinks market. Its leadership is underpinned by its consistent
growth in both instant coffee in emerging markets and fresh coffee in
developed markets, while its presence in tea is limited. Its strong
presence in other hot drinks also helps to support its overall hot drinks
position.
Despite the split from Kraft, Mondelez maintained its second position
and kept a solid distance between itself and Unilever. Unilevers third
position is due to its strong leadership in tea, with wide geographical
coverage. However, tea is an industry lacking a coffee pod moment,
meaning there is no single tea category or type driving large-scale
consumer trading up across developed markets. Unilevers potential
expansion of the newly-acquired Australian T2 premium tea retail
brand will help Unilevers ambition to expand into premium tea.
Mondelez and DEMBs future partnership - JDE - will move to the top
of global coffee by retail volume, but it will stay in second place
behind Nestl in retail value terms. The combined strength of
Mondelez and DEMB will be a compelling force in the global hot
drinks market and a real threat to Nestl.

Nestl SA: North America remains a weak spot

Asia Pacific and Latin America are set to be the growth engines for hot drinks over 2013-2018, with the two
regions contributing over half of global growth over the forecast period. Strong growth in both Brazils coffee
and Chinas instant tea markets is set to be key to this growth. Nestl has invested in Chinas Yinlu local
beverages but it is unlikely that Nestl will be interested in expanding into instant tea. In Western Europe
and Australasia, hot drinks growth will be more subdued, with CAGRs of 1-2%. North America appears to
show a more positive picture. In the US, Nestl introduced the VertuoLine system especially designed for
the local long-cup market, a bold move given Keurigs dominance.

MARKET ASSESSMENT
Nestl SA: Dominant in instant and focusing on growing pod coffee

Instant coffee is Nestls primary interest in hot drinks, a category it dominates with a 48% retail value
share in 2013. Instant coffee sales are expected to post a CAGR of 3% in off-trade value terms over 20132018, with emerging markets Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe and Middle East and Africa key growth
contributors. Nestl, as the global leader in the category, stands to benefit disproportionately and it has
dominant positions in key growth markets such as China (75% share), Mexico (74%) and the UK (42%).
While Nestl was late to standard fresh ground coffee, it has focused on growing its presence in premium
fresh coffee pods with Nespresso and Nescaf Dolce Gusto. Mid-ranged Nescaf Dolce Gusto is being
rolled out globally and achieved higher growth than super premium Nespresso. Nescaf Dolce Gusto is
now present in 73 countries, according to the companys annual report.
Nestl leads global other hot drinks sales through its Milo and Nesquik brands based largely on its
emerging market presence. It also has an emerging presence in premium tea with the Special.T system (a
pod-based system similar to Nespresso), although its sales here remain modest.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Global opportunities will remain biased in favour of fresh coffee

Within the major coffee growth markets, fresh coffee will generate much higher value growth over 20132018 than instant coffee. Globally, growth in instant coffee will be driven by emerging markets, primarily in
Asia Pacific, headed by China. Some developed markets, such as Canada and Germany, are likely to see
sluggishness or even decline in instant coffee.
Brazil, the US, Canada and Spain are major forces for growth in fresh coffee. In Brazil, Nestls weakness
in standard fresh ground coffee affects its pace of share gain in overall coffee. Its key competitors are
Strauss/So Miguel, DE Master Blenders and potentially the entity, JDE, formed by the merger between
DEMB and Mondelezs coffee unit. Currently, there is little competition in coffee pods and Nespresso
dominates the category.
In the US and Canada, Nespresso is expanding and taking on Keurigs strong position there. It is crucial for
Nestl to grow the new beverage machine VertuoLine by scale and its beverages should be designed to fit
local consumers palates and lifestyles.

New rival: Mondelez/DEMBs partnership proposal for JDE

Nestls global position in coffee may be challenged by the arrival of Jacobs Douwe Egberts. In May 2014,
Mondelez and DE Master Blenders 1753 (DEMB) jointly announced the decision to combine their
respective coffee businesses to create the worlds leading coffee company, with annual revenues of over
US$7 billion. The new company, called Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE), will be based in the Netherlands.
This deal will be one of the most significant in the global coffee market in many years, and is likely to
reshape the competitive landscape.
The parties have entered into an agreement to combine Mondelezs wholly-owned coffee portfolio (outside
France) with DEMB. In conjunction with this transaction, Acorn Holdings BV (AHBV), owner of DEMB, has
made a binding offer to take over Mondelez's coffee business in France. The parties have also invited
Mondelez's partners in certain joint ventures to join the new company. The transactions remain subject to
regulatory approvals and the completion of employee information and consultation requirements. In 2013,
Mondelez's wholly-owned coffee business generated revenues of around US$3.9 billion, and DEMB
generated some US$3.4 billion. Upon completion of all proposed transactions, Mondelez will receive cash
of approximately US$5 billion and a 49% equity interest in JDE. AHBV will hold a majority share in the
proposed combined company and will have a majority of the seats on the board, which will be chaired by
current DEMB chairman Bart Becht. AHBV is owned by an investor group led by JAB Holding Company
Sarl. Mondelez will have certain minority rights. The transactions are expected to be completed during the
course of 2015, subject to limited closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
The proposal includes DEMBs tea business, which is highly complementary as Mondelez has little
presence in tea. However, Mondelezs chocolate drinks are excluded from the deal. JDE will be the global
brand owner of all the coffee and tea brands of both companies. As this is only at the proposal stage, the
details regarding how these brands will cross leverage each others networks have not yet been disclosed
or discussed in public.
PASSPORT 19
The potential impact of JDE

If the deal is approved, JDE will assume the number one position in the worlds coffee market by retail
volume, with a 15% share, overtaking market leader Nestl (12%). However, in value terms, JDE will be
placed second, with a 16% share, overshadowed by Nestl (23%). Nestls high value positioning is
underpinned by its strong presence in coffee pods, and its wide coverage in instant coffee, particularly in
emerging markets.
The deal is a strategic fit and highly complementary for both Mondelez and DEMB, particularly in terms of
coffee brands and geographic profile. JDE would have a much wider brand portfolio than the two
companies have at present, encompassing Jacobs, Carte Noire, Tassimo, Kenco, Douwe Egberts, LOr,
Pilo and Senseo, and these brands will potentially have immediate access to an established network in
key markets. For example, Mondelez is absent from Brazils coffee market and can leverage DE Master
Blenderss strong leadership in Brazil to make a relatively smooth entry. DE Master Blenders can also use
Mondelezs strength in China to expand.
From a competitors point of view, the deal is a threat to Nestl, as it must face not only JDE globally but
also Keurig in the US. The Coca-Cola Cos acquisition of a 10% stake in Keurig has made the situation
even more challenging, as Keurig has strengthened its financial position. The emergence of copycat
Nespresso-compatible products, private label and generic single-serve products has already put pressure
on Nespressos share. Nestl may have to expand aggressively into the US coffee pods category and
strengthen its position in major emerging markets. Nespressos recent launch of VertuoLine in the US,
which allows the machine to produce a large cup of espresso, is a good experiment.

PASSPORT 22
Global pods: Nespresso overtaken by Keurig amid US growth

Globally, most major coffee players are engaged in
the pods business to varying degrees. While
Nespresso has global coverage, Green Mountain
Coffee Roasters is strong in the booming US market.
In March 2014, GMCR changed its name to Keurig
Green Mountain, to reflect its business of selling
Keurig coffee makers. GMCRs Keurig pod system
overtook Nespresso for the first time in 2013 to
become the number one brand by value in pods
globally, thanks to its strategy of allowing established
beverage brands to be made compatible with its
system.
Nestls strong rival will be JDE, which will have four
major single-serve beverage system/pod brands in
the top 10: Tassimo, Senseo, LOr Espresso and
Jacobs, covering a spectrum of price points. The fact
that these pods are available in the grocery channel
helps them attract more consumers doing their
weekly shopping. Mondelez recently launched
Nespresso-compatible pods for the Jacobs and Carte
Noire brands in Switzerland, Germany and France to
target Nespressos core markets, and JDE may have
a chance to steal some share from Nespresso.

strengthen its position in
developed markets in terms of
both the machines and the
drinks. In Western Europe,
Nestl will need to fight hard
against Nespresso-compatible
products and make a
considerable effort to retain
consumer loyalty.
In the long term, pod machines
will filter through to major coffee
growth developing markets,
such as China. Nestls strong
position in instant coffee in
these markets will thus help it to
expand in fresh coffee.
Beverage machine operators

and beverage brand owners
have to be clear how to develop
their systems and technology in
association with their coffee
brands.
As patents for machines will
expire, the machine owners
have to maximise the value of
innovation before this occurs.
The emergence of Nespressocompatible pods has alerted
both machine and beverage
brand owners regarding
consumer loyalty to the drinks.
Patents on technology can be
vulnerable. Investment in R&D
is not a guarantee financial
success.
For pod marketers, the

investment in machines can be
huge and it is a complex issue
to market, distribute and
maintain the machines. A
number of alliances and
collaborations have been
formed: Starbucks and Keurig,
Keurig and The Coca-Cola Co
(for cold beverages), Keurig
with Lavazza etc.
The direction of development of
machines is tending towards
user-friendly, interactive and
digital formats. However,
consumers are increasingly
sophisticated and they are
looking for good value for
money in innovation rather than
superfluous modifications.

Nestls big challenge in Brazil

Brazil has a concentrated coffee market, with the top three players
making up over half of total retail value sales. Nestls rivals include
newly-created JDE, the Strauss/So Miguel joint venture, Melitta and
other smaller companies.
Brazil: Coffee by
% Company Value Share
2013
Nestl Brasil has a strong position within instant coffee as its brand is
well known among consumers. Nestl has 14 exclusive stores and an
online portal to sell Nespresso coffee pods to consumers. At the
same time, its Nescaf Dolce Gusto brand has more widespread
distribution due to its more accessible price.
Nestls key current rival is DEMB, which is long established in Brazil
in both the off-trade and on-trade. DEMBs strength lies in fresh
ground coffee, where it has been leader for many years. Standard
fresh ground coffee dominates coffee sales in Brazil and will continue
to do so over the forecast period. However, the pods category is
advancing rapidly and has attracted growing interest from both
consumers and industry players. Nestl dominates the pods category
and Melitta has introduced pods; however, sales and distribution
remain limited. Strauss/So Miguel has not registered category
shares in pods yet. In view of the categorys anticipated rapid growth,
DEMB may build a solid platform for L'Or Espresso and Senseo to
grab share from Nespresso, as consumers are already aware of its
corporate offering and are familiar with its brands in fresh ground
coffee.

Case study: US - Pod battle
Nespresso is facing tremendous challenges in

the US coffee market: Keurig and chain coffee
shops are solid barriers. However, pockets of
opportunity exist in foodservice.
PASSPORT 28
Nestl faces big challenges on all fronts

Nespressos business model will continue to have a
tough time in the US. Consumers there are very loyal to
their favourite hot drinks brands and will pay a premium
for a Keurig coffee machine because it brews all their
favourite branded drinks at the touch of a button and at a
price that is still perceived as reasonable. To succeed, it
will not be enough for Nespresso to focus on coffee size.
The right pricing and brand awareness and availability in
retail outlets such as grocery are also important.
US Coffee Pods: Competitive

Landscape % Company Value Share
2013
The North American fresh coffee market is very

concentrated, with the top two companies, Kraft and JM
Smucker, jointly commanding over one third of off-trade
fresh coffee volumes. Despite volume sales just one fifth
of JM Smucker, Green Mountain is North Americas most
valuable coffee company as almost all of its sales derive
from its Keurig pods which are premium priced.
In the US, specialist coffee shops are by far the most
popular places for consumers to enjoy a cup of coffee
outside the home. In 2013, specialist coffee shops
generated sales of around US$18 billion and this is
expected to rise by a further 13% over 2013-2018.
Starbucks is the major player in this field, accounting for
around 60% of specialist coffee shops sales in 2013.

The K-Cup barrier: Open system carrying multiple coffee brands

In North America, there are only a few coffee brands that consumers brew at home, with one also being the
main specialist coffee chain where the same consumers enjoy their coffee when out.
In this context, Green Mountain has been able to thrive. The company has been able to find success by
combining its pod technology with stable partnerships with several popular licensed regional coffee brands.
Green Mountain has agreements with 25 different coffee brands to produce K-Cups, including four of the
top five brands by value in the US fresh coffee market - Keurig itself, Folgers, Dunkin Donuts and
Starbucks.
This strategy has helped Green Mountain attract customers who would normally hesitate in purchasing a
pod coffee machine but are nonetheless interested in the possibility of brewing their favourite brand of
coffee at the touch of a button. Crucially, this partnership strategy has also limited the incentive for
competitors to launch rival pod systems and is in turn attracting further cooperation agreements. Even
Lavazza, the Italian coffee brewer, which in Europe partners Electrolux for its pod system, has decided to
cut out the Swedish company from its US pod expansion and has partnered with Green Mountain instead.
Lavazza purchased a 7% stake in Green Mountain and in 2012 launched its Keurig Rivo.
The Coca-Cola Co has purchased 10% stake in Keurig and started investing in the cold beverage system.
TCCCs investment strengthened Keurigs confidence to expand and ensures that Keurigs innovation
pipeline will not run short.
Currently, Keurigs sales are mainly in North America. As the company grows, its international ambition
may become more apparent. By then, Keurig will become Nestls global rival.

Exploration in foodservice
Positioned as a premium product, available only

through Nespresso boutiques or online retailers,
Nespresso is targeting only high-margin
restaurants to showcase its coffee. The brands
restaurant pitch echoes that of its individual
consumer: Nespresso can offer an unparalleled
combination of convenience and quality. Traditional
espresso machines used by higher-end
foodservice establishments require trained
professionals to operate, substantial maintenance,
and of course, a constant supply of fresh beans.
Nespresso machines, on the other hand, are

simple to operate, require minimum care, while the
vacuum-sealed pods last up to 11 months.
Furthermore, though a premium product,
Nespresso machines are more economical than
standard espresso machines: not only is the initial
price of a Nespresso machine generally less
expensive, but the running costs are also much
lower. Thus far, Nespressos campaign has been
convincing. According to Nespresso sources, 30%
of the worlds Michelin-starred restaurants, many
within the US, have made the switch to Nespresso
machines.

professional customers, such as restaurants. In
May 2013, Nespresso launched the Aguila, a

outlets to help with this goal. While Nespresso may
be successful in gaining entry into US restaurants,
it is still unclear whether this will translate into a

Other hot drinks includes chocolate powder, malt drinks and local products. China represents a strong

the market leader, commanding around 7% of retail value sales in 2013. Nestls strategy for China
changed upon its acquisition of Yinlu, which gave it a presence in local beverages and it does not try to
convince Chinese consumers to try Western style drinks. In Brazil, Nestl leads other hot drinks with strong
brand Nescau and Nesquik. Both PepsiCo and TCCC is present but other hot drinks are not their core
beverages in Brazil. Thus, Nestl has a good opportunity to sustain its leadership given its investments in
marketing campaigns and research and development of new products, pack sizes and flavours..

Chocolate powder to drive future growth of other hot drinks

Chocolate powdered drinks is likely to be the growth driver in the other hot drinks market. Emerging
markets are the key growth geographies, including Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia and Venezuela.
In Brazil, Nestl (Nescau) and PepsiCo (Toddy) are the key players. The fact that the combined share of
Nescau and Toddy is nearly 70% of the market makes it a real barrier for other potential entrants. Nescau
is a fortified chocolate-based flavoured powder drink with Actigen-E, a combination of vitamins and
minerals, in its formula. A marketing campaign focusing on adolescents is its key strategy to boost sales in
this category.

In Mexico, chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks registered the strongest growth in 2013, driven mainly
by advertising which helps develop the perception among consumers that these are high quality products,
and in turn limits the impact of price increases on consumers purchasing decisions. Nestl Mxico
registered the strongest growth in other hot drinks in retail value share terms in 2013 due to the improved
performance of Nesquik in chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks. This was due to the recent launch of
the product containing stevia, an all-natural sweetener, which is considered healthier and potentially helpful

Asia major driver and rising premiumisation in developed markets

Emerging markets are set to drive global tea growth. Asian emerging markets will continue to raise their
profile, becoming attractive investment destinations, on the back of organic growth in demand for valueadded products, and consumers trading up.
China is forecast to account for over 40% of global absolute value growth over 2013-2018. The emerging
middle class, changing lifestyles and urbanisation should be recognised and fully explored by
manufacturers. Missing the growth opportunities may risk weakened global status in the medium term.
The US will continue to see good expansion in tea sales, thanks to the healthy image of tea and
premiumisation in the tea industry. Starbucks acquisition of Teavana and its increased interest and
activities in tea will help to create a premium tea moment.
Unilevers acquisition of T2 (premium tea specialist outlets) and further established a store in London
means it has started exploring high end tea store.

Global top 10 tea companies in 2013

The top four tea companies maintained their global rankings in 2013.
The positions of these major companies are not expected to show
significant change without major acquisitions.
Unilever, TGBL and ABF are the only truly global companies in the top
10. Although TGBL has ambitions to expand, its widening interests and
corporate objective to engage in a diverse range of beverages may
mean its hot tea business is given limited resources. Consequently,
TGBL and ABF are unlikely to pose an immediate challenge to
Unilever, unless they make significant acquisitions in major tea
markets.
Orimi and Ahmad Tea have profited from the consumer boom in
Eastern Europe, with consumers trading up to tea bags and a variety of
loose teas, thanks to stabilised economies. The economic downturn did
not have a significant impact on tea consumption, as tea is a staple
beverage in the two companies core Eastern European region.
Tea has never been a core category in Nestl vast fmcg basket. RTD
tea Nestea is Nestls most globally recognized tea beverage brand.
Interestingly, Nestl entered the premium tea category by high profile
launch of Special.T single serve tea specialist machine in 2010 and
now the machine is distributed in Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany,
Netherlands, France, Japan and Switzerland. It is reported that the
sales of Special.T exceeded Nestls expectation and the company is
increasing its investment in the field.

Special.T: A bold move with encouraging signs of progress

In Europe, Special.T has its own website in each country in
which it is present and the products can be purchased
through online Special.T shops.
In March 2013, Special.T was launched in Japan, its first
market outside Europe. This is a bold approach, as Japan
is a highly mature tea-drinking market and Nestl is
unknown there for offering tea. However, Nespresso
continues to see strong double-digit growth in retail value
sales in Japan, which offer some encouraging signs for tea
pods. Special.T carries green tea and other varieties, such
as black, blue, white and organic herbal teas. It claims to
offer a selection of fine teas sourced from the top 1% of the
worlds tea plantations to attract sophisticated Japanese
consumers.
Japan has sophisticated and affluent tea drinkers, hence
Nestls selling Special.T as a high quality product.
Crucially, Special.T will be available in grocery stores to
help it reach critical mass. Demographically, Japan's
population of 128 million will fall by more than a third by
2060, and about 40% of the population will be over the age
of 65. People living alone will tend to prefer smaller
beverage packs. Japans ingrained tea-drinking culture and
the traditional preparation of a cup of tea is challenged.

Nestl has narrow hot drinks portfolio and relaunches Nesquik

Compared to Nestls water business, Nestls hot drinks business has a smaller brand portfolio. Nescaf,
Nespresso, Nescaf Dolce Gusto, Milo and Nesquik are the key brands. Apart from the tea beverage
machines and its associated tea products, Nestl has no established tea brands. Nescaf Dolce Gusto
showed the strongest performance thanks to its multi-beverage feature and mid-priced appeal. The fact that
the Dolce Gusto is available in grocery stores makes it convenient for consumers to top up supplies for their
machines, thus, increasing consumption frequency. Nesquik is a key other hot drinks brand and it has been
relaunched in Europe with 10% less sugar and fortified with OptiStart, containing vitamins and minerals to

Nescaf remains Nestls key brand in hot drinks

Nescaf is Nestls number one selling brand in hot drinks based almost exclusively on its position in
instant coffee. There is no single rival brand that challenges Nescaf although the combined strength of
Mondelezs instant coffee brands is considerable. Growing demand for instant coffee, primarily in emerging
markets, has helped it to grow despite growing premiumisation in mature Western European and North
American markets which favours fresh coffee sales.
In 2014, Nescaf is launching a unified, global look and feel across all products in the 180 countries where
the coffee is sold. The purpose of the REDvolution campaign is to attract the attention of young consumers
and make the brand still relevant as coffee consumption trends evolve. Nescaf is also launching RTD
coffee Shakissmo in seven European markets to further capitalise on Nescafs brand equity.

Luxury Nespresso faces challenge from compatible products

Nespresso is based around a coffee club concept with retail taking place online from Nestl or through
any one of its boutiques, some of which are stand-alone retail stores, but with most others operated as
shop-in-shop formats in premium-positioned department stores rather than through supermarkets.
Nespresso has seen growing competition from not only new arrivals every year and private label, but also
Nespresso-compatible brands. The potential formation of JDE will also put some pressure on the pace of
growth for Nespresso globally. To maintain growth, Nespresso, with 320 boutiques, will continue to open
stores, but insists that it will not go down the grocery route. Instead, it is developing the Nespresso
Business Solution and Automated Boutique concept to boost sales. Nespresso Cube, a digital, fullyautomated Nespresso Boutique, was launched in Western Europe in 2014. Nespresso is launching the
VertuoLine system in the US and this will prove a challenge as the pod market is dominated by Keurig.

Nestl focuses on coffee investment in hot drinks

In terms of financial reporting, Nestl included Nespresso, Milo and other hot drinks brands in the Powder
and Liquid Beverages segment in its 2013 annual report. There is no clear split for these brands within the
segment. At corporate level, the company has around 460 factories in over 80 countries and its products
are sold in around 140 countries. The company employs some 250,000 people and has a very active
research and development programme and has around 30 R&D facilities in North America, Europe and
Asia.
In 2014, Nestl opened the System Technology Centre in Orbe, Switzerland to bring together the expertise
behind the Nespresso, Nescaf Dolce Gusto and Nestl BabyNes systems. STC unites 120 experts from
25 countries to work on design, technology, packaging, engineering, electronics and robotics.
Production investments in coffee
Nestl attempts to reduce costs and make its products closer to local markets. Therefore products are
normally produced regionally or locally. In hot drinks, most of the investments in terms of production are in
coffee, highlighting the strategic importance of the category to the company. The company has invested
heavily in expanding facilities for Nescaf Dolce Gusto in recent years to keep pace with demand for coffee
pods, including a new factory in Germany.

OPERATIONS
Highlights of production activities in recent years

In 2014, Nestl announced a ready-to-drink beverage factory in Malaysia for brands such as Nescaf, Milo
and Nestl Low Fat Milk, and opened a Nescaf factory in Vietnam.
In May 2012, Nestl announced a CHF300 million investment in a third factory for Nespresso capsule
production, in Fribourg, Switzerland. This follows a CHF300 million investment in Nespressos second
production and distribution centre in Avenches, Switzerland in 2009.
In 2012, Nestl also announced a 220 million investment in a new Nescaf Dolce Gusto factory in
Germany. The factory aims to produce about two billion coffee capsules a year for the German market, as
well as for export to Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.
Nestl also continues to invest in its Nescaf instant coffee, including a project in Russia designed to meet
domestic demand, as well as for export to other CIS countries.
In 2013, Nescaf opened a new coffee centre of excellence in the Philippines to improve the quality and
quantity of the coffee crop in a country where demand for beans far outstrips supply. The facility, in
Batangas City in the central Philippines, was set up as a one-stop shop for coffee-growers in the region to
give farmers access to the best of Nestls coffee farming technology and training.
