„Most small coffee farmers live in isolated communities in some of the poorest countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia. They usually sell their coffee through middlemen, known to Central American farmers as "coyotes." With world prices in constant flux and coyotes offering the lowest price possible, farmers never know how much they'll get for their crops.“
