Using Mexico as an example, this book examines the issues surrounding the production and trading of coffee. It describes the conventional coffee trade, tracing the coffee bean’s journey from the tree, through the hands of several intermediaries in both the North and South, to its final destination as a cup of coffee. The concept of “fair trade” is introduced through the example of the Mexican peasant organization that was one of the first to embrace the idea.
