  „In fact, coffee is the second most important raw material in commercial volume, following oil. Coffee production employs 25 million people working in a small-scale family economy, where the entire farming production process is virtually done by hand, demanding a delicacy and expertise passed down by ancestral tradition. But today, behind every cup there is a story of poverty and death for coffee farmers in countries held hostage by blind market forces. On average, coffee is priced at US$1.10 per kilogram, even though production cost is more than $1.76 per kilogram.“
