Product innovation, however, has a very low return relative to other forms of innovation (transactions, process, exceeding controls and compliance, etc.). Regarding innovation, the only known source of it stems from investment in less-tangible assets. It's hardly ever about the coffee or the tea, it's about the producer's ability to re-invest in the less-tangible asset base to drive new markets from the bottom up. I spent a lot of time with the whole fair trade coffee thing - it's smaller than Hooville. Think bigger, and wider to have a real impact. Pam,

Interesting thoughts. Product innovation, however, has a very low return relative to other forms of innovation (transactions, process, exceeding controls and compliance, etc.). Regarding innovation, the only known source of it stems from investment in less-tangible assets. It’s hardly ever about the coffee or the tea, it’s about the producer’s ability to re-invest in the less-tangible asset base to drive new markets from the bottom up. I spent a lot of time with the whole fair trade coffee thing – it’s smaller than Hooville. Think bigger, and wider to have a real impact.

However, if you want some truly good organically grown and environmentally rsponsible coffee, Try Cafe Britt Gourmet Coffee [info@cafebritt.com]. Look at the green statement on their website. I have visited their operations in Costa Rica - they are what they say they are and their coffee is just plain delicious! Best Regards Tom Valliere Pam, Good thinking points as usual.
