In an attempt to prevent its cultivation elsewhere, the Arabs imposed a ban on the export of fertile coffee beans, a restriction that was eventually circumvented in 1616 by the Dutch, who brought live coffee plants back to the Netherlands to be grown in greenhouses. Brown (2008) & Hattox (1985). Arabia was the origin of commercial coffee trade hence the name of Arabica Coffee beans.

Iyondustrial sugar production started slowly in Hawaii. The first sugar mill was created on the island of Lanai in 1802 by an unidentified Chinese man who returned to China in 1803. The first sugar plantation, known as the Old Sugar Mill of Koloa, was established in 1835 by Ladd & Co. and in 1836 the first 8,000 pounds (3,600 kg) of sugar and molasses was shipped to the United States. By the 1840s, sugar plantations gained a foothold in Hawaiian agriculture. Steamships provided rapid and reliable transportation to the islands, and demand increased during the California Gold Rush.
Next is Coffee; coffee was made about 1000 A.D in Arabian peninsulas. To Arabs coffee was the healthier way to drink alcohol.

What Drove the Sugar Trade? Sugar has been in use since about 9000 years and has spread throughout the world but it wasn’t until Christopher Columbus in 1493 introduced sugar cane to the Caribbean Islands that the sugar industry boomed. The main components that drove the sugar trade were the rising consumer demand and capital it produced. Before the fifteenth century many Europeans had no idea what sugar was and how significant it would become over the next few centuries. Sugar was used as a sweetener in other imports such as chocolate, coffee, and tea.
Sugar is a very tempting and delightful sweetener to foods used every day, all over the world to satisfy our appetites. One year after Christopher Columbus’s first voyage in 1493, Columbus introduced cane sugar to the islands of the Caribbean. During this time sugar was not known to most people in Europe. That changed soon enough and caused the production of sugar to become a large industry. The sugar trade was driven by land and climate, consumer demand, and the economy.
The capital city is Yamoussoukro. Economy Ivory Coast is heavily dependent on agriculture and related activities, which engage roughly 70% of the population. Ivory Coast is the world's largest producer and exporter of cocoa beans and a significant producer and exporter of coffee and palm oil. Since the end of the civil war in 2003, political turmoil has continued to damage the economy, resulting in the loss of foreign investment and slow economic growth. GDP grew by more than 2% in 2008 and around 4% per year in 2009-10.
As offered by www.cia.gov , the Dominican Republic has long been viewed primarily as an exporter of sugar, coffee, and tobacco, but in recent years the service sector has overtaken agriculture as the economy's largest employer, due to growth in tourism and free trade zones. The economy is highly dependent upon the US, the destination for nearly 60% of exports. Remittances from the US amount to about a tenth of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), equivalent to almost half of exports and three-quarters of tourism receipts. The country suffers from marked income inequality; the poorest half of the population receives less than one-fifth of GDP, while the richest 10% enjoys nearly 40% of GDP. High unemployment and underemployment remains an important long-term challenge.
Melissa Ardis Ms. Montgomery Senior Project October 18, 2010 An End to the Marijuana Prohibition, an Improving America Thisere is no other law deemed unnecessary by such a substantial part of the populace, and yet enforced so harshly and widely; the prohibition of marijuana holds this unique quality. The term marijuana refers to the leaves and flowering top of the hemp plant, cannabis sativa. Marijuana has been illegal for less than one percent of the time is has been in use (Louie). The known uses for marijuana go back to 7,000 B.C., but in the 1970s the Uniform Controlled Substance Act classified the plant as a Schedule I drug, and ever since, an ongoing debate about the plant has risen. America’s first hemp law was in Jamestown Colony,
