„Sarah then introduced Celeste and Rey. Rey (a barista) had worked four months on several coffee plantations last year. He spoke about his life on the plantation, how he worked 20 to 30 days without a day off, how he carried 50 pound sacks on his back at the end of his workday (the hike to town took two to three hours while carrying 50 pounds on his back). He described his adobe home---no inside plumbing, no electricity, etc.“

„The coffee crisis and a history of inequality conspire to keep them put. Most households earn a meager living often as little as a dollar a day picking coffee on the big plantations. Plantation owners can easily lock up 300-400 hectares, squeezing families into little more than their 50ft square plots. Don't believe the Malthusian population specialists who blame the poor for overpopulation and land degradation.“

„Trade in coffee, a much-prized commodity, was jealously guarded by the Arabs who would not allow foreigners to visit their coffee plantations, nor fertile coffee beans to be taken out of the country. However, seed-beans or plant cuttings were eventually taken out of Arabia and cultivated in the Dutch colonies in India and Java. The Dutch became the main suppliers of coffee to Europe, with Amsterdam its trading centre.“
