small farmers get how much for this expensive coffee?
U
70-75% of global coffee production is from the smallholder Farmer with less than 5 acres. But if we look at farmers in Ethiopia with a $1 -3-a-day average of coffee, while end consumer buys a $5-7 cappuccino, there's a crazy gap there.
When C arabika prices are through $3 a pound, which is fun, most of the imports and traders are already holding stock. The farmers who sold their coffee for 9-12 months earlier did not enjoy the rise.
The yields are also small: farmers specialty smallholder are average 5-10 bags per acre. than the estate of 15-20 bags. So the absolute income per farmer is very limited.
Genuely cares about this: there's a business model on fair chains and also financially reliable from the business side?
