Thomas Guerriero, CEO of WMX Group, Inc., (WEX on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange) Says The World Mercantile Exchange Will Meet The Global Demand For Coffee

Cambridge, Massachusetts (PRWEB) September 30, 2011

Thomas Guerriero, the CEO of WMX Group, Inc. (WEX on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange), parent company of The World Mercantile Exchange, sees a growing demand for coffee around the world. Due to this increased demand, prices are at all time highs. The London based International Coffee Organization is quoted by saying "Consumption of coffee is rising, particularly in grower nations and in emerging markets. The demand for coffee beans cannot be met". Thomas Guerriero believes this viewpoint can be challenged by introducing new small to mid sized producers of coffee around the world. Up until now there has been really no way for these farmers to enter into the global trade of coffee.


The World Mercantile Exchange will be the platform for these smaller growers and emerging markets to enter into this market and fulfill this global demand. In the past, coffee prices has increased due to how long it takes for the larger growers to expand their production, climate changes, and an increased demand due to the steady increase in our global population. With three to four years to grow a new coffee tree and the extraordinary demand around the world, if something is not done one can expect coffee prices to soar around the world indefinitely. With new problems there needs to be new answers and The World Mercantile Exchange many feel is the answer.

With the introduction of Apples FaceTime, YouTube, and Skype video call, video conferencing has taken on a sophisticated note and the trend is only accelerating with vendors actively collaborating on the technological and research front. Factors driving adoption and usage of the technology are productivity, quality, and level of engagement per interaction over video, all of which have increased in the past few years epitomized by high-end telepresence systems.


Long-term trends poised to influence the video conferencing market include increasing use of telepresence, and the anticipated increased interoperability between different network and video products. Clients are becoming more aware of the impact that telepresence can have on performance and enterprise communication infrastructure, and are looking for a greater return on their video investments. With the advancement of enterprise communications, end users have increased the expectations from telepresence solutions to not only provide seamless operations with their existing enterprise communications and video systems, but also interlace with other visual solutions much beyond the corporate boundaries.
