Coffee, cafe, Caffea arabica

Caffea is a genus consisting of over 90 species, 2 most common species are Caffea arabica and Caffea  canephora ( syn. Caffea robusta ). Coffee trees are natives of Ethiopia, where coffee beans were used since about 800 AD. Coffee as a drink started out in 15th century. In Europe, some of the first  coffee drinkers were  hardcore criminals since  the penalty for drinking coffee was death ( in Austria, during it's war with Turkey sometime in 16th century).
There are countless researches about health effects of coffee, both positive and negative. According to some legend, one of the medieval kings cancelled death penalty for some twins and made them drink  coffee and tea 3 times a day in their cells. They outlived the king and died sometime in their 70s, which was a very advanced age  for their time.
In 2009, 83 countries cultivated coffee and  8 342 736 tonnes of coffee  (green beans )were produced, a largest crop of coffee beans ever. That is 1 kg and 255 grams of green beans per capita.Roasting coffee makes it 10 to 25% lighter,  so it should be about 1 kg  or 2.2 pounds of roasted coffee per potential consumer per year.  So there is a cup of coffee for everybody out there, for every day of the year.Over the last 50 years , coffee bean production almost doubled, however  land usage did not increase significantly.  Still, over 6.35% of all permanent crop land in the world is used for coffee production, almost 10 million hectares. For Brazil, this number is 26.6%.
Biggest coffee producer is Brazil  with 2 440 060 tonnes as of 2009, biggest producer per capita is Colombia with  20.17 kg of coffee beans produced per capita. That is almost 47 grams of roasted coffee beans per day. Imagine that, a Colombian must  drink almost 7 cups of expresso per day to keep his national treasure at bay..

Average yield  of coffee beans was 847.7 kg per hectare in 2009, that is also the  highest yield ever ; lowest yield (since 1961) was in 1964, 384 kg per hectare. Individual record belongs to Tonga (1997)-- 3200 kg per hectare.

Prices , coffee robusta  ( with Vietnam as a largest producer/exporter) is about $2000-2100 per ton (about 1/3d of all coffee produced is robusta),  Coffee arabica is $2.51 per pound  in New York exchange market.

Safflower, safflower oil, Carthamus tinctorius

Safflower is an annual herb, native of Mediterranean countries and  known to humans at least  for 4000 years.
Originally it was grown mainly for it's flowers, a source of yellow and red (carthamin) dyes, though Ancient Chinese were using it's oil for a variety of things, like candle making, etc.
Because safflower has a similar color with saffron, it was  often used  to make fake saffron,  thus one of the safflower's nicknames is "Bastard's saffron". Other nicks are "Mexican saffron", "dyer's saffron" and "False saffron".
Now safflower is mostly grown for it's oil, though  there is still a demand  for it's flowers in many regions.
The oil in safflower contains almost 75%  linoleic acid, which is  higher than soybean, corn, cottonseed, peanut or olive oils. This type of safflower is used primarily for edible oil products such as salad oils and soft margarines. Scientists  disagree on whether oils high in polyunsaturated acids, like linoleic acid, can decrease blood cholesterol and the related heart and circulatory problems. Still, it is considered a "high quality" edible oil and public concern about this topic made safflower an important crop for vegetable oil.
Varieties that are high in oleic acid may serve as a heat-stable, but expensive cooking oil used to fry potato chips and french fries. As an industrial oil, it is considered a drying or semi drying oil that is used in manufacturing paints and other surface coatings. The oil is light in color and will not yellow with aging, hence it is used in white and light-colored paints. This oil may also be used as a diesel fuel substitute, but as other vegetable oils, is currently too cost-prohibitive for this use.
The meal that remains after oil extraction is used as a protein supplement for livestock. The meal usually contains  24% protein and a lot of  fiber. Decorticated meal (most of hulls removed) has about 40% protein with a reduced fiber content. Foots are used to manufacture soap. The birdseed industry buys a small portion of the seed production. Sheep and cattle can graze on safflower and stubble fields after the  harvest.
Production
In 2009,  646 427 tonnes of safflower seeds were produced by 23 countries. Over the last 50 years, world production of safflower seeds grew by about 100%.  Highest ever  crop of safflowers was in 1979, when 1 110 535 tons were produced. Lowest crop since 1961 was in 1961, when 326 997 tons were produced.
Land usage decreased by 1% since 1961. In 2009, crop of safflower used  752 455 hectares of land , which is about 0,048% of all arable land in the world.
Biggest producer in the world is India with 189 000 tons as of 2009.
Biggest producer per capita is Kazakhstan  with  4.36 kg of safflower seeds produced as of 2009.
As much as 95 grams of safflower seeds were produced per potential consumer of 2009. That is almost 500 calories.
World safflower seed crop could supply as much as  4.6 million people with 2000 calories a day,  and there is enough of protein for 5.7 million people.
Best  average worldwide yields were 961.8 kg per hectare in 1998, worst, since 1961-- 431.8  kg/ha ( 1961). Individual record belongs to USA  2447.2 kg per hectare in 1971.

Almost 19 000 tonnes were used as seed in 2009.

Average price for safflower seed is $550-700 per ton as of today.

Pistachio, Pistacia vera

There are 11 species in the genus Pistacea but only one specie, Pistacea vera is grown commercially. It is a small (6-10 m ) tree , native of Iran  and nearby territories that likes dry or very dry  environment  and needs about 1000 hours of temperatures under 45 F. It takes awhile for it to grow, old cultivars were bringing first fruit only at 15th, 17th year, but new varieties  start bringing  fruit at 5th , 6th year and by 12th-13th year enter  full production mode,  and bring about 50 kg of pistachios every other year  at least till they are 200 years old or so. Allegedly, the oldest pistachio tree is a 700 years old tree that still lives in Iran .Pistachio trees require at least one male tree for 25 female trees for proper pollination , though with 1:10 ratio  the harvest is better.

Old remains testify that pistachios were known to men  at least since  7000 BC, and were cultured at least since 3500 BC.
Pistachios used to be royalty-only treat for awhile in the ancient past. The queen of Sheba, mentioned in both Bible and Quran,  half-mythical  half-real contemporary of the king Solomon , allegedly had forbidden consumption of pistachios  to anybody but herself and  whomever she wanted  to treat well.
 The ancient king of Babylon,  Nebuchadnezzar,  had pistachio trees planted in his famous hanging gardens. Moghul Emperor, Akbar the Great, hosted royal banquets befitting his royal status.  The chickens to be supplied for the banquet were  on  pistachio nuts diet  for 6 to 8 weeks before the banquet, to add a delicious flavor/under taste  to the chicken meat.

Emperor Vitellius was a big fan of pistachios, after being a governor in Syria he got so hooked  that he was eating pistachios with every meal. still it is a bit weird that Vitellius got credited with pistachio introduction to Rome considering that Syria was a part of Rome since 64 BC, long before his birth, and that Pistachio tree was cultivated by Greek  and Phoenician colonists  in Sicily possibly even before the founding of the Rome itself. Currently Sicily is still producing pistachios, which have a sharper taste possibly due to rich vulcanic soils, but production is negligent ( about 2 000 tonnes per year  for an entire Italy), mostly because  Italian government  supports financially olive production instead. Sicilian pistachios are used almost entirely  within Italy, mostly as a gourmet ice-cream / gelato  flavoring. 
Interestingly enough, despite of collapse of Roman Empire  and  difficulties for  international trade in Early Dark Ages, pistachios  did not disappear from  European markets.
According to Islamic legend , pistachio nuts were one of the first foods brought from heaven to the Earth by Adam. Pistachio was one of the two nuts mentioned in Bible  ( Genesis 43:11).
Pistachios, from Persian " pista"  are called the ''green almonds''  and are known as the ' 'smiling nut'' in Iran and the 'happy nut' in China.
HEALTH
Pistachios are extremely healthy nuts, it is proven that it optimizes your cholesterol levels, and in that particular study  people who consumed 3 ounces of nuts per day had better results than people who consumed  only 1.5 ounces daily.
There are strong suggestions that pistachios will lower your chance of getting lung cancer, as well as some other cancers, and that  consumption  of pistachios will lower your chances of getting diabetes.
However, just as pretty much all other nuts, pistachios are rich in alpha-linolenic acid, which , while lowes the risk of cardiovascular desease, has an unfortunate correlation with prostate cancer. There was a big study in 2006  in favor of this acid , and another in 2009 finding a bias  in  that big study.
I didnt look into these studies but my take on the issue is rather simple: one has to die  one way or another. Since  consumption of alpha-linoleic acid  is reducing  risk of cardiovascular desease, it accordingly increases your chances of dying from some other  calamity, which is,  in advanced age,  cancer. A 70 year old man who  has a healthy heart is far more likely to die of cancer than a 70-year old man with a sick heart. Which does not mean of course that a healthy heart in advanced age is something to sneeze at.
Pistachios are rich in vitamin E, lutein, beta carotene, . All three of these  vitamins are oil soluble. Pistachios are also great sources of  copper, manganese, and phosphorous along with heart healthy magnesium and potassium . Pistachios are the only nuts to contain  two carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin.
Arginine  from pistachios  will help people who suffer from anginas, or  who had a trauma.
Arginine is  important  in cell division, releasing hormones, removing ammonia ,  and helping maintain a functioning  immune system.
Production . In 2009,  572 946 tonnes of pistachios were produced, leaving an average consumer with  84.1 grams of  (in-shell) pistachios   in that year. That is about 44 grams of pistachio meats,  which is about 75-77 individual pistachios. Each pistachio has 3.1-3.3 calories, mostly in good monounsaturated fats.
Israel has the highest per-capita consumption in the world , about 1.3 pounds of pistachios per person. Interestingly that for a very long time Israel was breaking its own embargo on Iranian pistachios, by buying  Iranian pistachios from Turkish and Syrian middlemen.
USA banned import of Iranian pistachios in  1979,  allegedly in the course of a hostage crisis ( yeah, its surely got nothing to do with Californian orchards maturing  and producing  first commercial crop of pistachios in 1976). After the ban was lifted in early 1980s (1981 i think)commercial growers in USA complained  on affordability of Iranian pistachios and lobbied a 300% duty tax on all  Iranian pistachios, and  later  in 1987 all products from Iran were banned. Clinton lifted the ban on foods from Iran, (March of 2000)  but kept high duties, and Obama banned pistachios again in July 1 of 2010. US market of pistachios is around $700-800 million.
Iran is the biggest in the world producer of pistachios,  192 269 tons in 2008,  315 500 tons in 2007. However  USA soon will  surpass Iran in pistachio production as more and more orchards  are  beginning to mature, and the weather wasn't very good in Iran for the last 2 years or so.
In 2010,  USA produced  237 804 tonnes  of pistachios ( no data  for Iran yet ). A lot of American pistachios are exported to Asia-- China ( largest pistachio consumer in the world by volume, 120 million pounds per year, US sales went up from $5 to $50 million within 5 years, Arnold Shwarzenegger himself went to China, Japan and South Korea  to peddle  his Californian nuts there.)

Syria produced  more pistachios per capita than anyone else in 2009  ( 2.92 kg )

Worldwide, pistachio trees occupy  0.381% of all permanent crop land in the world. For Iran, the number is 19.2%.
There are enough calories in the world's crop of  pistachios to supply 2.37 million people ( combined populations of Namibia and Seychelles) with 2000 calories a day, and enough protein to supply over 3.5 million people with 50 grams per day.
Largest crop of pistachios ever was in 2007,  686 667 tons, lowest since 1961--- 19 440 tonnes in 1962.
Land usage from 1962 to 2009 increased   by 1750%.
Yields,  highest world's average was in 1997, 1405 kg per hectare, lowest since 1961-- 421.7 kg per hectare in 1979.
Best individual yield belongs to USA, 4182 kg per hectare in 2004. In fact USA production growing faster than the pistachio market itself. With salmonella scare from the last year,  leading producer invested $15 million into advocating  pistachios, they even have a commercial where former  governor Blagoevich is taking a bribe in pistachios.
Prices: 1 pound of salted and roasted nuts is selling for $7-8 per pound in retail. I was fortunate enough to buy  several  24-oz packages for $5.99 plus tax. ( today).  World's crop is about $4-5 billion worth.

Millet, Mijo, Просо, Panicum, Panicoideae, Proso millet

Millets are a group of  annual grass species, 4 or 500 in total that live all over the world. About 10+ of them are used in agriculture since at least 8000 BC, most common is Pearl millet , others are Finger millet, Proso millet, Foxtail millet,  and exotics like  Kodo millet, Little millet, Guinea millet, Japanese barnyard millet, Indian barnyard millet. They grow very well on poorly fertilized, dry soils, and can tolerate pretty much anything except soil acidity.
Millet was a staple in Asia  well before  rice took over..Now its a sixth major grain and daily food for hundreds of millions of people. There are some serious studies suggesting that millet helps to prevent  type 2 diabetes and breast cancer. Personally, I did have my fair share of Proso Millet in my childhood  so I can tell you with all honesty that if I had to choose between  consuming it daily for the rest of my life and breast cancer,  the latter would be my choice of preference, even though I am a man.
In 2009,  32 034 572 tons of millet  were produced, leaving an average  potential consumer with a bit over  4.7 kg of millet (  10.43 pounds)  for the year of 2009. That's enough to last for 8.8 days. Worldwide, millet crop could feed 165.9 million people at 2000 calorie a day diet. There is enough protein in the world's millet crop  for over 193 million people.
