Task 1

SELECT country, "1990" + "1991" + "1992" + "1993" + "1994" AS total_volume FROM coffee_export
ORDER BY total_volume DESC

!Week4Task1.csv Looking at the data we can see that countries like Brazil and Columbia are some of the largest exporters of coffee between 1990 and 1994. This likely means that they have large industries and are great countries to look to for production since coffee production is more common in them.

Task 2

SELECT RANK() OVER (ORDER BY b.total_volume DESC) AS rank, b.country, b.total_volume FROM (
	SELECT 
		country, 
		"1999_2000" + "2000_2001" + "2001_2002" + "2002_2003" + "2003_2004"
		AS total_volume FROM coffee_production
) b
LIMIT 10

!Week4Task2.csv Alternate for task 2

WITH summed_years as (
	SELECT 
	country,
	"1999_2000" + "2000_2001" + "2001_2002" + "2002_2003" + "2003_2004" AS total_volume 
	FROM coffee_production
)

SELECT RANK() OVER (ORDER BY total_volume DESC) AS rank, country, total_volume FROM summed_years
LIMIT 10

There are a lot of the same countries on the top exporters list on the top producers list meaning that their coffee industries are likely largely focused on international markers rather than domestic ones. Sourcing all product from one country could be a risk since if something happened to their coffee industry or economy it would be challenging to pivot somewhere else for production.

Task 3

WITH summed_years as (
	SELECT 
	country,
	coffee_type,
	"1990_1991" + "1991_1992" + "1992_1993" + "1993_1994" AS total_volume 
	FROM coffee_production
), ranked as (
	SELECT
	DENSE_RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY coffee_type ORDER BY total_volume DESC) AS rank,
	country,
	coffee_type,
	total_volume
	FROM summed_years
)

SELECT coffee_type, country, total_volume from ranked
WHERE rank = 2

"Runner-up" countries such as these could present an opportunity since they likely still have established coffee industries but there might not be as much competition from other large companies. It could be easier to expand and grow without as much competition from other large brands.

Task 4

WITH summed_exports as (
	SELECT
	country,
	"1995" + "1996" + "1997" + "1998" + "1999" + "2000" AS total_export
	FROM coffee_re_export --looking at countries that are re-exporting coffee rather than exporting for the first time
), summed_imports AS (
	SELECT
	country,
	"1995" + "1996" + "1997" + "1998" + "1999" + "2000" AS total_import
	FROM coffee_import
)

SELECT 
COALESCE(e.country, i.country) AS country, 
COALESCE(e.total_export, 0) AS export_vol, 
COALESCE(i.total_import, 0) AS import_vol,
COALESCE(e.total_export, 0) + COALESCE(i.total_import, 0) as total_vol
FROM summed_exports e
FULL JOIN summed_imports i ON e.country = i.country
ORDER BY total_vol DESC
LIMIT 5

Countries such as the United States, Germany and France act as some of the world's primary "coffee clearinghouses" since they import and then re-export the largest quantities of coffee. This means that they are focusing more on processing more than production.

Task 5

SELECT 
i.country AS importing_country, 
i.total_import AS importing_amount, 
e.country AS exporting_country, 
e.total_export AS exporting_amount 
FROM coffee_import i
CROSS JOIN LATERAL (
	SELECT e.country, e.total_export FROM coffee_export e
	ORDER BY ABS(i.total_import - e.total_export) ASC
	LIMIT 1
) e

With the data we have it is not possible to show the country of origin for the coffee. The closest I got was guessing based on matching similar values of imports and exports but in most cases countries will be importing from or exporting to multiple sources. Additional data in the form of percentage import or export from each country or origin of export and import would be needed to complete this request.
