Coffee, the beloved morning pick-me-up for many, has a rich history and diverse global cultivation. The origins of coffee can be traced back to the ancient kingdom of Ethiopia, where a goat herder named Kaldi discovered the energizing properties of the coffee plant. From Ethiopia, coffee spread to the Middle East and then to Europe, eventually becoming a global commodity and one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world. Each region has its own unique growing conditions and methods, resulting in a diverse range of flavors and qualities among the different types of coffee.  Different people like different types and flavours of coffees. Some like smooth and mild brews, while some like bold and complex cups. But did you know that some types of coffee can cost more than others? Read on to learn about the top 10 priciest coffee beans in the world. 10 Highest-Priced Coffee Beans in the World Black Ivory Coffee: $1500/pound Black Ivory coffee is made from Thai Arabica beans that have been eaten by elephants and other animals, passing through their digestive tracts before being collected.

Everything from the signboard outside down to the napkins bears the official emblem of the top international coffee chain. But in Baghdad, looks are deceiving: The “Starbucks” in the Iraqi capital is unlicensed. Real Starbucks merchandise is imported from neighboring countries to stock the three cafes in the city, but all are operating illegally. Starbucks filed a lawsuit in an attempt to shut down the trademark violation, but the case was halted after the owner allegedly threatened lawyers hired by the coffee house. Be careful, he told them — and boasted of ties to militias and powerful political figures, according to U.S. officials and Iraqi legal sources. “I am a businessman,” Amin Makhsusi, the owner of the fake branches, said in a rare interview in September. He denied making the threats. “I had this ambition to open Starbucks in Iraq.” After his requests to obtain a license from Starbucks' official agent in the Middle East were denied, “I decided to do it anyway, and bear the consequences.” In October, he said he sold the business; the cafes continued to operate. Starbucks is “evaluating next steps,” a spokesman wrote Wednesday, in response to a request for comment by The Associated Press. “We have an obligation to protect our intellectual property from infringement to retain our exclusive rights to it.” The Starbucks saga is just one example of what U.S. officials and companies believe is a growing problem. Iraq has emerged as a hub for trademark violation and piracy that cuts across sectors, from retail to broadcasting and pharmaceuticals. Regulation is weak, they say, while perpetrators of intellectual property violations can continue doing business largely because they enjoy cover by powerful groups. Counterfeiting is compromising well-known brands, costing companies billions in lost revenue and even putting lives at risk, according to businesses affected by the violations and U.S. officials following their cases. Qatari broadcaster beIN estimated it has lost $1.2 billion to piracy in the region, and said more than a third of all internet piracy of beIN channels originated from companies based in northern Iraq. The complaint was part of a a public submission this year to the U.S. Special 301 Report, which publicly lists countries that do not provide adequate IP rights. Read more: 8 killed in attack by gunmen on an Iraqi village: Official Iraq is seeking foreign investment away from its oil-based economy, and intellectual property will likely take center stage in negotiations with companies. Yet working to enforce laws and clamp down on the vast web of violations has historically been derailed by more urgent developments in the crisis-hit country or thwarted by well-connected business people. “As Iraq endeavors to diversify its economy beyond the energy sector and attract foreign investment in knowledge-based sectors, it is critical that companies know their patents and intellectual property will be respected and protected by the government,” said Steve Lutes, vice president of Middle East Affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Makhsusi insists he tried the legal route but was denied a license from Starbucks' regional agent based in Kuwait. He also said he attempted to reach Starbucks through contacts in the United States, but that these were also unsuccessful. He depicts his decision to open a branch anyway as a triumph over adversity. Cups, stir sticks and other Starbucks merchandise are obtained in Turkey and Europe, using his contacts, he said. “The coffee, everything is authentic Starbucks,” Makhususi added. Makhsusi said he “had a session” with a lawyer in Baghdad to come to an understanding with the coffee company, “but so far we have not reached a solution.” The law firm recounts a different version of events. Confidentiality agreements prevent the firm from divulging details of the case to third parties, but the AP spoke to three Iraqi legal sources close to the case. They spoke on condition of anonymity in order to provide details. They also asked the name of the firm not be mentioned for security reasons. They said that in early 2020, the firm was hired by Starbucks and sent a cease-and-desist notice to Makhsusi. They said that the businessman then told one of the lawyers on the case that he ought to be careful, warning that he had backing from a prominent Iranian-backed armed group and support from Iraqi political parties. “They decided it was too risky, and they stopped the case,” the Iraqi legal source said. Makhsusi denied that he threatened Starbucks' lawyers.

The AP contacted two groups known to have business dealings in the areas where the cafes are located, and both said they had not worked with Makhsusi. Counterfeiters and pirates have stepped up activity in Iraq in the past five years, particularly as Gulf countries have responded to U.S. pressure and become more stringent regulators, said a U.S. official in the State Department, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about the trends. The broadcaster beIN has sent cease-and-desist letters to Earthlink, Iraq’s largest internet service provider, which offers subscribers with a free streaming service, Shabakaty, composed almost entirely of pirated content, beIN has said. Iraq’s Communications Ministry, which partners with Earthlink, did not respond to a request for comment. “It’s unheard of and completely outrageous,” said Cameron Andrews, director of beIN’s anti-piracy department. “It’s a huge market, so it’s a great deal of commercial loss.” But the larger issue for beIN is the piracy that originates inside Iraq and bleeds into the rest of the region and the world, he said. After being copied by these companies, beIN’s channels are re-streamed on pirate IPTV services, and become accessible all over the region, according to beIN. The company’s investigation found that some Iraqi operators even distribute pirated content in the U.S. At least two U.S. pharmaceutical companies have approached the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with complaints that their trademark was being used to sell counterfeit life-saving medication by Iraqi companies. “I worry if regulatory lapses or infringements in IP protection are allowed, then U.S. companies will be deterred from doing business in Iraq and quality of care could be dangerously jeopardized for Iraqi patients,” said Lutes. The companies did not accept to be named in this report or detail the types of medications. Successive Iraqi governments promised to fight graft since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion reset Iraq’s political order, but none has taken serious steps to dismantle the vast internal machinery that enables state-sanctioned corruption. Intellectual property has also historically been a low priority for Iraq. Limited bilateral talks with the U.S. over the issue have been on and off for the past five years. The challenge is to find a “clear leader in the Iraqi government that is interested in IP issues as a way to attract foreign investment,” said a U.S. State Department official. “Until that person exists, it is difficult for us to engage.”

When governments get creative, countries get bizarre ministries – from coffee, toilet and yoga to happiness and loneliness. Some unique ministries from around the world at a glance Papua New Guinea’s Coffee Ministry:  Coffee is one of the crops most frequently farmed in Papua New Guinea. Some 27% of the country’s agricultural exports are coffee. Moreover, the industry contributes 6% of the nation’s total gross domestic product. Maybe that’s why Papua New Guinea’s Prime Minister James Marape in August 2022 appointed Joe Kuli as the country’s first Minister for Coffee. “The Minister’s job is to focus on coffee, coffee and coffee,” local media quoted Marape as saying. Read:Stars Coffee, anyone? Starbucks successor opening in Russia Papua New Guinea is not the first nation to develop such unconventional portfolios – there are a few others, including the UAE, the UK, India and Japan. Japan’s Loneliness Ministry:  In February 2021, the Japanese government created a unique cabinet portfolio by appointing Tetsushi Sakamoto as its first-ever Minister for Loneliness. The aim was to tackle the rising suicide rates, particularly among women, in Japan for the first time in a decade due to Covid-19, Japanese media had reported, quoting Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. Read Spending Money for Happiness: 10 Effective Ways “I hope to carry out activities to prevent social loneliness and isolation and to protect ties between people,” Sakamoto had said in his inaugural address. Japan probably took a cue from the UK, where the government created a new portfolio and appointed Tracey Crouch as the Minster of Loneliness in 2018 to help people with problems like social isolation. UAE’s Ministry of Happiness:  In February 2016, the UAE set up a Ministry of Happiness and appointed Ohood Al Roumi as its Minister entrusted with the job of raising the happiness of its citizens. Read: Pandemic Yoga: How to strengthen lungs, ease breathing problems with yoga In a slew of tweets, Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum then expressed his desire to see more happy people. Roumi’s would supervise “plans, projects, programmes (and) indices” that raise the nation’s general mood, he wrote. It may also be mentioned here that in 2014, Japan appointed Haruko Arimura as the country’s first unofficial Minister of Toilets. India’s Yoga Ministry: The same year, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi created a unique ministry to promote traditional Indian medicine and yoga. And Shirpad Naik was appointed the Minister of Yoga. A year later, the country celebrated Yoga Day for the first time. Read IKIGAI: The Japanese Secret to a Long Healthy Life

People in Moscow who were disappointed when Starbucks closed its coffee shops after Russia sent troops into Ukraine may now feel a caffeine jolt of hope: a nearly identical operation is opening in the capital. The name’s almost the same: Stars Coffee. The logo could be the separated-at-birth twin of the Starbucks mermaid, with flowing hair, a small enigmatic smile and a star atop her head — though instead of a Starbucks crown she wears a Russian headdress called a kokoshnik. The menu, judging by the company app introduced a day before the store’s formal opening Friday, would look familiar to any Starbucks customer. Seattle-based Starbucks was one of the most visible of the wave of foreign companies that pulled out of Russia or suspended their operations in response to Russia’s military operation in Ukraine. Others include McDonald’s, IKEA and fast-fashion giant H&M. The departure of these companies was a psychological blow to Russians who had become used to the comforts of Western-style consumer culture. But Russian entrepreneurs saw opportunity in suddenly unoccupied stores. Read Coffeemaker buying guide with prices in Bangladesh Former McDonald’s outlets are reopening and attracting sizable crowds under the name Vkusno — i Tochka. Though the name doesn’t roll off the tongue easily and is a little awkward to translate (roughly: It’s Tasty — Period), the menu is a testament to imitation being the most sincere form of flattery. Yunus Yusupov, a popular rap artist who uses the stage name Timati, and restaurateur Anton Pinsky partnered to buy the Starbucks assets and took the imitation strategy a step further by giving the operation an English-language name. At a news conference Thursday, they vowed to reopen all the former Starbucks under their new identity and even expand the business. The U.S. company had built its Russian operation to about 130 stores since entering the country in 2007. While the close resemblance of the new operations to their predecessors could be seen as riding someone else’s inspiration and effort, the Starbucks and McDonald’s successors also fit a national-pride concept. Since Russia was walloped by sanctions and foreign pullouts, officials frequently assert that Russia will overcome by relying on its own resources and energies. “Now the economic situation is difficult, but this is a time of opportunity,” Oleg Eskindarov, president of the holding company that partnered in the Starbucks deal, told the state news agency Tass. “For the past four months, we have been very actively looking at exiting companies following the example of Starbucks. There are several more similar examples, but we cannot talk about them yet.”
