Global Exchange : Starbucks Coffee in Mexico, new controversy
„James praised Starbucks for its decision of focusing in the shadow grown coffee from Chiapas and in another one known as "fair trade coffee"; for this kind of coffee the producers get a minimum price -- that's more than the triple of what they would normally get -, but James asks herself why Starbucks doesn't buy more of this product. "One pays one or three dollars for a cup of coffee in the United States, that's more than what the producers make in one day", she said.“

Organic News Winter/Spring 1999
„According to Neil Harvey's "Rebellion in Chiapas" (Transformation of Rural Mexico, No. 5), over 90% of coffee growers in Chiapas, Mexico, farm an average of 11 acres each, while wealthy plantation owners, which make up .15% of all coffee growers, control an average of 220 acres each. These small farmers are unable to compete with the production efficiency of large plantations, thus they are locked out of the market and forced to sell their beans at very low prices.“

„Tapachula, Chiapas. Coffee-growing state in southern Mexico. The best Chiapas coffees are grown in the southeast corner of the state near the border with Guatemala, and may bear the market name Tapachula after the town of that name. At their best, Tapachula or Chiapas coffees display the brisk acidity, delicate flavor, and light to medium body of the better known Mexican coffees of Oaxaca and Vera Cruz States.“
