„Difficult Times for Coffee Industry as Demand Falls -- With coffee prices at a 30-year low, the industry is facing perhaps the worst crisis in its history, trapped in a vicious circle of falling demand, surplus production and collapsing prices. Farmers, traders, roasters and retailers all agree urgent action is needed to prevent a slide in coffee quality and the loss of perhaps millions of jobs.

„Coffee production is an important social and economic component, because its value is well beyond the financial amounts directly involved in it. Coffee production represents generating jobs, which by its nature tend to settle workers in the agricultural areas where they come from. However, the adequate production commercialization is very important to guarantee the producing sector's sustainability and competitivity.“
