NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- Apr 16, 2012 -- Coffee companies have continued reap the benefits of falling coffee prices. The low prices have allowed companies to provide better products to consumers while still maintaining, and in some cases increasing, their profit margins. Coffee prices have fallen 37 percent since hitting a 10-year high on May 3, 2011, according to the Dow Jones-UBS Coffee Index. The Paragon Report examines investing opportunities in the Beverages Industry and provides equity research on Peet's Coffee & Tea, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEET) and Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: JVA).

"The decline came in response to expectations of a surplus in Brazilian coffee beans, following a run-up amid a significant supply-demand gap in early 2011," David Krein, senior director of Product Development & Analytics at Dow Jones Indexes, recently wrote. "The recent drop in prices has benefited coffee roasters, who some experts suggest may purchase better-quality coffees as a result."
