As the popularity of coffee and coffee shops has grown worldwide in
recent years, so has another trend-globalization, which has greatly
affected growers and distributors. This book analyzes changes in
the structure of the coffee commodity chain since World War II. It
follows the typical consumer dollar spent on coffee in the
developed world and shows how this dollar is divided up among the
coffee growers, processors, states, and transnational corporations
involved in the chain. By tracing how this division of the coffee
dollar has changed over time, Grounds for Agreement demonstrates
that the politically regulated world market that prevailed from the
1960s through the 1980s was more fair for coffee growers than is
the current, globalized market controlled by the corporations.
Talbot explains why fair trade and organic coffees, by themselves,
are not adequate to ensure fairness for all coffee growers and he
argues that a return to a politically regulated market is the best
way to solve the current crisis among coffee growers and producers.
