globalizing.
Give attention to the locational advantages in the places it

growing coffee beans).
Explain in detail *how *it is globalizing–(for example, through
mergers and acquisitions, contracting with independent suppliers, .etc).

also begin thinking about what specific changes in the present era make its
globalization possible (for example, changes in the international division
of labor, changes in currency markets, .etc)
