Sub-Production Function 2 – Coffee Sellers “A”:
☼
βA-2:0i = ƒ (
☼
∆αA-2:00,
☼
∆αA-2:01,
☼
∆αA-2:02,…,
☼
∆αA-2:0∞…)

Sub-Production Function 2 – Coffee Sellers “B”:
☼
βB-2:1i = ƒ (
☼
∆αB-2:10,
☼
∆αB-2:11,
☼
∆αB-2:12,…,
☼
∆αB-2:1∞…)

Sub-Production Function 2 – Coffee Sellers “C”:
☼
βc-2:2i = ƒ (

∆αC-2:20,
☼
∆αC-2:21,
☼
∆αc-2:22,…,

If any coffee seller in the same coffee market displays the largest output in sub-
production function 2 followed by (
☼
βA-2:0i
) v (
☼
βB-2:1i
) v (
☼
βc-2:2i
) v
(
☼
βZ-2:4∞
) then this coffee seller can get the biggest profit margin of sub-
production function 2.
Sub-Production Function 3 Specialization (Coffee Consumers) shows a large
number of factors and functions that affect the final satisfaction in coffee consumer
behaviour simultaneously, according to expressions 19, 20, 21, and 22 respectively.
Sub-Production Function 3 – Coffee Consumer “A”:
☼
βA-3:0i = ƒ (
☼
∆αA-3:00,
☼
∆α A-3:01,
☼
∆α A-3:02,…,
☼
∆α A-3:0∞…)

Sub-Production Function 3 – Coffee Consumer “B”:
☼
βB-3:1i = ƒ (
☼
∆αB-3:10,
☼
∆αB-3:11,
☼
∆αB-3:12,…,
☼
∆αB-3:1∞…)
(20)
Sub-Production Function 3 – Coffee Consumer “C”:
☼
βc-3:2i = ƒ (
☼
∆αC-3:20,
☼
∆αC-3:21,
☼
∆αc-3:22,…,
☼
∆αC-3:2∞…)
(21)
Sub-Production Function 3 – Coffee Consumer “Z”:
☼
βZ-3:4∞ = ƒ (

∆αZ-3:∞0,

∆αZ-3:∞1,

If any coffee consumer displays the largest output in the sub-production function
3 followed by (
☼βA-3:0i ) v (☼βB-3:1i ) v (☼βc-3:2i) v (☼βZ-3:4∞), then this coffee
consumer can get the best price; in this case, measured by maximum coffee
consumer satisfaction.
The third step is to build the NCP-Function by joining by straight lines the output
of all national coffee production functions from producers, brokers, sellers
and consumers, until a single surface could be drawn (see Figure 3). The NCP-
Function is interested in verifying performance and effects among all of the coffee
