- 6. History of coffee
AFRICAN ORIGINS
(Circa A.D. 800)
Goats will eat anything. Just ask Kaldi the legendary Ethiopia goatherd. Kaldi,
the story goes, noticed his herd dancing from one coffee shrub to another,
grazing on the cherry-red berries containing the beans. He copped a few
himself and was soon frolicking with his flock.
Witnessing Kaldi’s goatly gambol, a monk plucked berries for his brothers. That
night they were uncannily alert to divine inspiration.
History tells us other Africans of the same era fueled up on protein-rich
coffee-and-animal-fat balls—primitive PowerBars—and unwound with wine
made from coffee-berry pulp. Coffee later crossed the Red Sea to Arabia,
where things really got
cooking...
ESCAPE FROM ARABIA
(Circa 1000 to 1600)
Coffee as we know it kicked
off in Arabia, where roasted
beans were first brewed
around A.D. 1000. By the 13th
century Muslims were drinking
coffee religiously. The “bean
broth” drove dervishes into
orbit, kept worshippers awake,
and splashed over into secular
life. And wherever Islam went, coffee went too: North Africa the eastern
Mediterranean, and India
Arabia made export beans infertile by parching or boiling, and it is said
that no coffee seed sprouted outside Africa or Arabia until the 1600s—until
Baba Budan. As tradition has it, this Indian pilgrim-cum-smuggler left Mecca
with fertile seeds strapped to his belly. Baba’s beans bore fruit and initiated an
agricultural expansion that would soon reach Europe’s colonies...

- 7. More history
EUROPE CATCHES THE BUZZ
(1615 to 1700)
“The Turks have a drink of black color....I will bring some with me...to the
Italians” Thus a merchant of Venice introduced Europe to coffee in 1615. But
the end product didn’t amount to a hill of beans to many traders—they
wanted the means of production. The race was on.
The Dutch cleared the initial hurdle in 1616, spiriting a coffee plant into Europe
for the first time. Then in 1696 they founded the first European-owned coffee
estate, on colonial Java, now part of Indonesia
Business boomed and the Dutch sprinted ahead to adjacent islands.
Confident beyond caution, Amsterdam began bestowing coffee trees on
aristocrats around Europe...
A SWASHBUCKLING
SCHEME
(Circa 1714 to 1720)
Louis XIV received his
Dutch treat around 1714—
a coffee tree for Paris’s
Royal Botanical Garden,
the Jardin des Plantes.
Several years later a
young naval officer,
Gabriel Mathieu de Clieu,
was in Paris on leave from
Martinique, a French
colony in the Caribbean. Imagining Martinique as a French Java, he requested
clippings from his king’s tree. Permission denied.
Resolute, de Clieu led a moonlight raid of the Jardin des Plantes—over the wall,
into the hothouse, out with a sprout.
Mission accomplished, de Clieu sailed for Martinique. He might have thought
the hard part was over. He would have been wrong...

coffee history
CROSSING THE ATLANTIC
(Circa 1720 to 1770)
On the return passage to Martinique, wrote de Clieu, a “basely jealous”
passenger, “being unable to get this coffee plant away from me, tore off a
branch.”
Then came the pirates who nearly captured the ship; then came a storm
which nearly sank it. Finally, skies grew clear. Too clear, Water grew scarce
and was rationed. De Clieu gave half of his allotment to his stricken seedling.
Under armed guard, the sprout grew strong in Martinique, yielding an
extended family of approximately 18 million trees in 50 years or so. Its progeny
would supply Latin
America, where a dangerous
liaison would help bring coffee to
the masses...
COFFEE BLOOMS IN BRAZIL
(Circa 1727 to 1800)
1727: Brazil’s government wants a
cut of the coffee market; but first,
they need an agent to smuggle
seeds from a coffee country. Enter
Lt. Col. Francisco de Melo Palheta,
the James Bond of Beans.
Colonel Palheta is dispatched
to French Guiana, ostensibly to
mediate a border dispute.
Eschewing the fortress like coffee
farms, suave Palheta chooses a
path of less resistance—the
governor’s wife. The plan pays off. At a state farewell dinner she presents him
a sly token of affection: a bouquet spiked with seedlings.
From these scant shoots sprout the world’s greatest coffee empire. By 1800
Brazil’s monster harvests would turn coffee from an elite indulgence to an
everyday elixir, a drink for the people. So that’s the history of coffee, the
Robert McAngus Group Buy’s Sells and drinks this wonderful elixir ………………

- 9. the economics of sugar
Most sugar is either consumed in the country where it is produced under
government controlled pricing arrangements or moved from one country to
another under long-term supply agreements. The sugar not subject to such
agreements is freely traded among a number of nations, corporations and
individuals. This makes the market for sugar a "residual" market - a market in
which freely traded sugar is only a fraction of worldwide production. Since the
free market may be only 20-25% of world production, a small change in
production or consumption can translate to a much larger change in free
market sugar supply. The delicate supply/demand balance is a main reason for
sugar's high levels of historical price volatility.
In the United States, import tariffs have long supported the domestic sugar
industry, with quotas typically holding U.S. prices steadily above those in the
world market.
There are two main types of sugar grown
in the world: cane and beet. The sugar
supplied by RMG Commodities a division
of The Robert McAngus Group Limited are
cane type. Both produce the identical
refined sugar product. Sugar cane is a
bamboo-like grass grown in semi-topical
regions and equatorial region where rain
is plentiful and the strong direct sunlight
nourished the cane. Cane sugar
accounts for about 70% of world
production. Beet sugar comes from the sugar beet plant, which grows in
temperate climates and accounts for the balance of world production. In
temperate weather, disease, insects, soil quality and cultivation affect both
cane and beet production, as do trade agreements and price support
programs.
Brazil, India, China, Thailand, Cuba and Mexico are among the leading sugar
cane producers. European Union nations, the Russian Federation and Ukraine
produce the majority of all sugar beets. The European Union, Brazil, Thailand,
Australia, Cuba and Ukraine are leading sugar exporters.
Both cane and beet sugar are grown in regions of the U.S.; sugar beet
production in the U.S. accounts for about 9% of the world total and cane
production about 3% of the world supply. U.S. sugar cane is grown in Florida,
Louisiana, Hawaii, Texas and Puerto Rico. Beet sugar is grown in 14 states, with
Minnesota, Idaho, North Dakota and California leading production.

- 10. the demand for sugar
Industrialized nations account for most sugar consumption. The European Union,
Russian Federation, United States, China and Japan are among the world’s
largest sugar importers.
Beyond price, other factors influencing sugar demand include: refinery activity;
consumer income; candy and confectionery sales; changing eating habits; and
sugars use in new technologies, such as ethanol production for automobile fuel.
Many South American countries use sugar and corn based ethanol in their
unleaded gasoline and diesel engines. For more information on Bio Diesel visit

- 11. Edible oils
The Robert McAngus Group deals with a wide variety of edible oils, but is
primarily dedicated to the Olive oil, Sunflower oil, Palm oil, Coconut oil, Corn oil,
Cottonseed oil, Canola oil, Peanut oil, Safflower oil, Sesame oil, Soybean oil,
Avocado oil, Rape seed oil,
Walnut oil industry.
The two leading edible oils
in the world are Palm and
Soya Oil. For most of the
past half century, Soybean
Oil has been the
benchmark for edible oils.
But with increasing
substantial plantings all
over the world and
particularly in South East
Asia, Palm Oil production
has been steadily increasing and now exceeds that of soya. The margin
becomes even more pronounced when palm kernel oil is taken into account.
Palm Oil is today the leading edible oil produced in the world. The relative
growth in importance of
palm oil has been relentless
for decades. Rape is the
next most popular edible oil
after palm and soy,
followed by sunflower,
cottonseed, groundnut,
palm kernel and coconut
oils.

- 12. rice
11
Rice has fed more people over a longer period of time than any other crop. As
far back as 2500 B.C. rice has been
documented in the history books as a source
of food and for tradition as well. Beginning in
China and the surrounding areas, its
cultivation spread throughout Sri Lanka, and
India. It was then passed onto Greece and
areas of the Mediterranean. Rice spread
throughout Southern Europe and to some of
North Africa. From Europe rice was brought to
the New World. From Portugal it was brought
into Brazil and from Spain to Central and
South America.
Rice could be taken too many parts of
the world due to its versatility. It is able
to grow in the desert conditions of Saudi
Arabia, in the wetland deltas of
Southeast Asia in the flooded rice plains
which we are most familiar with.
The Robert McAngus Group deals with
all types of rice that are grown in bulk
globally and can offer competitive
pricing and delivery

- 13. coal
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock normally
occurring in rock strata in layers or veins called coal beds or coal seams. The
harder forms, such as anthracite coal, can be regarded as metamorphic
rock because of later exposure to elevated temperature and pressure. Coal is
composed primarily of carbon along with variable quantities of other elements,
chiefly hydrogen, with
smaller quantities
of sulfur, oxygen and
nitrogen
RMG buys and sells all types of coals and anthracites for both domestic and power
generating boilers, Steam Coal from Indonesia High Quality Metallurgical Coke &
Steam Coal from Colombia, contact us with your needs and requirements.

- 14. heavy melting scrap iron
HMS is 'Heavy Melting Scrap'. It is the generic term for most types of heavy steel
scrap, normally cut to a size not exceeding 1.5m x 0.5m. It consists of cut lengths
of pipe, re-bar, angles, steel poles, H or I beams, ships plate and so on. HMS 1 is
the term for heavier scrap which has a density of at least 0.7 tons per cubic
meter, whereas HMS 2 would be lighter steel scrap such as thin wall tubing (eg
bicycle frames), sheet scrap less than 3.2mm thick and so on. The two are
normally sold together with a ratio of 80/20 heavy and light, and so this would
be the typical product being referred to when scrap dealers and traders talk
about 'HMS'. HMS is the description used worldwide, with Americans trading a
similar type of scrap called ISRI grade 201. 201 is shorter (1m x 0.5m) and should
be at least 6mm thick, making it a slightly superior grade to HMS.
The Robert McAngus Group buys and sells HMS 'Heavy Melting Scrap' contact us
for the latest prices and availability.

- 15. portland cement
Considered to be the most common type of cement in use
today, Portland cement is utilized for all
sorts of building projects. The cement is
used as an ingredient in materials used for
sidewalks, buildings and as a binder
between other substances, such as stone
or brick. The basic formula
for Portland cement appears to have
originated in the late 18th century and
was first identified by that name in the
early 19th century.
The name for the dry cement product is
derived from the similarity of the finished
product to Portland stone. This type of
building product was quarried in England
in the early 19th century. Using methods
that were somewhat like the procedure
for making Roman cement, Joseph Aspdin was awarded a patent in 1822 for
creating the cement. The original formula called for the use of cement clinker,
and a small amount of other ingredients. The stability of the product made
the cement ideal for use in the creation of mortar and other binding materials.
Portland Cement (ASTM Types)
ASTM C 150 defines Portland cement as "hydraulic cement (cement that not
only hardens by reacting with water but also forms a water-resistant product)
produced by pulverizing clinkers
consisting essentially of hydraulic
calcium silicates, usually containing one
or more of the forms of calcium sulfate
as an inter ground addition." Clinkers
are nodules (diameters, 0.2-1.0 inch [5-
25 mm]) of a sintered material that is
produced when a raw mixture of
predetermined composition is heated
to high temperature. The low cost and
widespread availability of the limestone,
shale’s, and other naturally occurring materials make Portland cement one of
the lowest-cost materials widely used over the last century throughout the world
