Tapescript

Text 1

Sarah Jane Hall was recently in Jamaica where she met Oliver Foot who was born in the

island.

About ninety per cent of the coffee was always bought by the Japanese. For some reason theJapanese loved it. And because of the recent economic problems that have affected the Far East andin fact the world, but mainly the Far East, the Japanese are not buying the amount of coffee theyused to buy before. And therefore the Blue Mountain coffee farmers are facing serious problems.They sell it to the coffee factory but the coffee factory cant always pay them because the coffee

factory cant sell the coffee because they used to rely on Japan. And so they are now looking fornew markets. And they asked me in fact to do a study worldwide to try and find new markets to selltheir coffee. And we did a study for the government and found that with this boom of coffee shopshappening all over the world why not start just a a Blue Mountain coffee shop. And thats what

weve done. In London theres one now. And the idea is to set them up across the world which

would take up an enormous market for the Blue Mountain coffee. In fact if there were two thousandcoffee shops throughout the world it would take up all the coffee from the Blue Mountains.Oliver Foot. The Jamaica Blue shop he was talking about recently expanded. So is Jamaica

Blue really the best coffee money can buy? Well, Ive been joined by coffee expert Tony Wild.Tony, Jamaica Blue is often presented as the Chteau Lafitteof coffee. Does it deserve that

reputation?Ive always been a little bit sceptical about this this position, this almost unassailable position ofJamaican Blue Mountain. Because it is being so priced at a factor of about five times any other verygood coffee.

Its about twenty-eights pounds a pound at the moment.Yes, it seems to be its its at retail level. Andit seems that whilst its an extremely good

coffee I certainly wouldnt in respect of that. I dont know whether its worth paying five times asmuch for compared to the other very good coffees, some of which well be tasting this afternoon.

Thank you very much. I was talking with coffee expert, Tony Wild.

Ok. Marilyn in London.

Hello. Hi.Far away.Yes. Ive been running my own small business for about twenty-two years and Ive had enoughreally and Id like to move on. I want to know how to go about valuing it and perhaps selling it.

OK. What does it do?I make shirts.

So youve got a business with a lot of shirts, good customer base, successful profits recordsYes. Yes.

OK. Employees?No, no. Just me.

Just you. Right. Peter, thats really selling stock and goodwill, is that?Well, its difficult to say without looking at the business and looking at the where the contractsare. I mean first of all Marilyn well-done and congratulations (Agreement) Average life for a

business nowadays even for good ones is eight to nine years, so very well done.

I had some bad years and some good years.You got through them and thats the important thing. Mmm, I think the best thing to do is Do you

have an accountant?

I do. Yes.Yeah. I think the best thing to do is to ask the accountants what they think.

Well, I asked him and he says he wouldnt know how to go about valuing it.

He may not up to this sort of work. Peter.Yeah. I mean the place you are going to sell it through is probably the accountant. Thats the

important thing, Marilyn. You can work out how much you want for it and somebody can suggest

what its worth. But the important thing is the market you are going to sell it through will be a

network of accountants.

Have you got a trade journal or anything which you subscribe to?No, I dont.

There probably is one for the textile industry but I wouldnt know where to find it. But againmaybe the Business Links would know because they will be receiving enquiries from people

possibly who might be wanting to set up this type of business and would be pleased to buy an

existing business rather than starting from scratch. There are probably plenty out there. They

want something with a flying start.I think the problem might be because its just me.

It may be that but its also how many customers you have got. Its still worth something. Ifyouve got a business which earns you I dont know how much, ten thousand, twentythousand, whatever it is it is a business. And its there. And someone will pick it up fornothing. It has got a value. Theres no doubt about it.Thats encouraging. Thank you very much.

Its OK. Right. Weve got

Kellogg set to eat its words

A) Eat your heart out, Tony the Tiger. Those frosted flakes may be gr-r-reat, but the name onthe box is not Kelloggs:its Gletscher Krone, a brand invented by Aldi, the German discountsupermarket operator.

B) Another of lifes little certainties died this week with the news that Kellogg, the ailing USbreakfast cereal company, had agreed to start making cereals for sale under a stores own

brand.C) For years, Kellogg has vowed that the only place its cereals will be found is inside a Kelloggspack. If you dont see Kelloggs on the box...it isnt Kelloggs in the box, says the sloganacross the back of its UK packs.

D) But now, Kellogg has bowed to the grim realities of the food business by quietly agreeing tosupply a range of five cereals to Aldi for sale under the Krone brandamong them WhiteFlakes, which sound suspiciously like Tony the Tigers favourite breakfast.

E) Ten years ago, own-label products, called private label in the US, had a relatively small shareof the packaged food market. Consumers thought they were low quality, and half-expected tofind a dead mouse in the box.

F) But as big stores have attached their names and reputations to the products, and customershave found them as good as the real thing, own-labels market share has soared.

G) For food manufacturers, the rapid rise of own-label has presented a dilemma. If they refuse tomake own-label products, they lose market share and their profits decline. But if they startmaking the products, consumers ask why they should pay more for a branded product thatcomes out of the same factory.

H) For a while, big food companies tried to stand aloof from own-label. But many havesuccumbed, insisting that the own-label versions of their products are made to differentrecipes.

I) Kellogg says its arrangement with Aldi is just an experiment.J) But it desperately needs to restore sales growth. The company is widely perceived as having

lost its way: its market share has been declining for years, and its share price is down tolevels not seen since 1991.

Two leading banks in climbdown over cash machine fees

A) Plans to charge customers as much as 2.50 to use cash machines were in doubt today.B) Two leading banks have reversed a decision earlier this week to charge people withdrawing

money from the machine of another bank 1 by the machines operator, and then a further1.50 disloyalty fee.

C) Lloyds TSB and Abbey National have crumpled under a furious attack from Trade andIndustry Minister Stephen Byers who described the double whammy decision by banks inthe Link automated teller machine network as iniquitous.

D) This about-turn by two of Britains biggest banks brings pressure on other banks to climbdown. A statement is expected later today from Barclays, which led the campaign for highercharges.

E) The charges flew in the face of a demand by government watchdog Don Cruickshank that thefee be no more than 30p, which is said to be the real cost of using an automated tellermachine. Lloyds TSB has told Mr Byers that it wants Link to withdraw the disloyalty fee, andAbbey National says it will be dropping it.

F) However both are still likely to charge the 30p ATM operator charge, risking fines of up to 10per cent of annual turnover under the Competition Act if they are found to be acting unfairly. Inthe case of Barclays, this could be as much as 800 million.

G) Abbey National today disputed Mr Cruickshanks suggestion that the true cost of a cashmachine withdrawal is 30p.

H) But it did not say what the bank will be charging when the new withdrawal fees come in on 1January. Abbey will however cut the existing 1.50 disloyalty charge from that date, but will

probably charge 1 to customers from other banks using its own machines.I) An Abbey spokesman said: The ATM figure will be higher than the 30p recommended lastFriday by Don Cruickshank.

J) Despite what he said, we are quite certain that 30p is not the accurate cost of a cashmachine withdrawal.

What is the limit? / Where is the limit?

Corporate gift giving may cause ethical problems. Is an employee allowed to accept a gift? Is therea limit of value over which the employee is not allowed to accept it?

Companies sometimes give extremely valuable gifts in order to secure / maintain business relationsin the future. Some CEOs / managing directors strongly forbid their subordinates to accept giftsover a certain limit of value to avoid being accused of corruption.

Multinational companies have realized if the present is more valuable than it is justified by thebusiness relationship then it may also damage the partnership. The receiver of the gift may thinkthat s/he is expected to provide extra services in return.

In view of our long-standing business relationship we suggest that you should allow us a discount of 5 percent on thewhole ordered quantity as a compensation.

We hope you will find our proposal for the settlement of this matter acceptable. We are lookingforward to a favourable reply and your prompt delivery.

Wal-Mart versus the planners

Until last week there was no indication thatWal-Mart, the world's biggest retailer, waspoised to replicate its sprawling out-of-towncost-cutting format in Britain.Its 6.7 billion takeover of Asda last June may

have been the catalyst for a price war amongleading supermarket chains, but it was alwaysassumed that UK planning laws would notallow the American giant to develop huge out-of-town retail warehouses.Then The Observer revealed last week that

Wal-Mart was negotiating to purchase out-of-town retail parks, buy the tenants' leases anddemolish their shops, rebuilding them to itsown specifications.Wal-Mart wants large storesusually 200,000sq ft, or four times the size of a typical Tescoin which to sell a vast range of goods atheavily discounted prices.

Earlier this year, executives from thecompany held a private meeting with TonyBlair to gauge the possibility of gaining a

presence in Britain. It is understood thecompany, whose worldwide sales total 3

billion a week, received a 'warm reception'from Number 10, which was excited at the

prospect of a retailer passing on cheaperprices to consumers.But establishing that foothold in the fourmonths since the company bought Asda has

proved difficult. Privately, Asda admits that ithas not been able to circumvent British

planning laws which, since 1996, have curbedout-of-town development. But buying existingretail parks offers a realistic way of breakingthe stranglehold.

Cruise environmental issues get airing

MIAMI -- The cruise lines are taking a"leadership position" in the travel industry fortheir environmental practices, according to theCenter for Environmental Leadership inBusiness (CELB), a conservation advocacygroup.

Jamie Sweeting, director of the CELB's Traveland Leisure research program, said, "Anumber of resorts, hotels and destinationsdump their sewage right along the beaches.Cruise lines don't legally dump anything full-stop."The CELB's interim report on the subject--agenerally positive look at the cruise industry--was released during the Seatrade conventionhere.However, that wasn't the only word on the

subject. Oceana, a Washington-basedadvocacy group, was more critical: It held a

press

conference across the street from the Seatradeconvention to protest laws that allow cruiseships to dump untreated sewage more than 12miles offshore.Cruise ships, a statement said, "are not held tothe same important environmental-protection

standards that apply to cities and industriesthat produce a similar amount of waste."Rich Softye, vice president of environmentalcompliance at Holland America Line, said thatwas "false."Softye said the regulations adopted by theInternational Convention for the Prevention ofPollution from Ships, even 30 years ago, arestricter than some land-based pollutionstandards.
