A CAGE analysis

Recently, the coffee industry has seen increased customer spending, which is being motivated by the availability of higher disposable income and the improved economic outlook. Coffee demand has risen at a faster pace than other foodservice segments. The buyer is typically looking for a low-cost, high-quality source for their materials. As a result, the company's priorities for consumers, including those with diet and health problems, have shifted. The condition has necessitated business restructuring in order to meet a variety of demands. Coffee exports alone have totaled $20 billion dollars, with the majority of them eaten by developing countries. Boca Coffee Beans is a company in the United States which is based in Boca Raton. We do sell roasted coffee through a website. We are currently looking for a potential market so as to expand our company. The paper conducts a CABE analysis on two potential markets through comparison and contraction with United State.

Recommendation
I recommend that for our company to prosper, we need to consider investing in the United Kingdom. This is easier since there are various protocols to follow when investing in UAE. One of the reasons is that UAE does not have the ant free trade agreement with United State. But for the United Kingdom, both countries have strong trade ties. Also, in consideration of the regional trade, United Kingdom is better suited(Matthew 2014). It is also near to export our product to the United Kingdom since it is near than in UAE considering the distance difference.
