  1. The act of placing a value upon (something); valuation; the act of fixing the price of (some commodity). See the extract. To help coffee planters, Brazil will, in accordance with the provisions of the law of August 6, 1906, purchase coffee at about eight and one-half cents a pound. … It is proposed to purchase coffee on account of the three coffee producing Brazilian States, whenever the price of coffee falls below about eight and three-eighths cents a pound. Since 1901 the price of coffee has, with very few exceptions, been below the cost of production. The financing of the valorization scheme is provided for by the issuing of bonds by the three coffee producing States, guaranteed by the general government. Amer. Political Sci. Rev., Feb., 1907, p. 249.
