| Summary: | The importance of coffee’s worldwide consumption, mainly in developed countries, stimulates production in the southern countries. As an agricultural product of considerable commercial value, coffee generates a great income for exporting countries. This is the case of Peru, which exports about 90% of its production. However, what are the perspectives for small coffee producers from Chanchamayo province, especially the ones from Sanchirio El Palomar, who depend on local traders to sell their products? Producing high-quality coffee, they are victims of a globalized system that does not reward their effort fairly. The low price paid to small crop owners is not enough even to cover their production expenses, and it even increases the problems of under-development. It is up to all the participants in this arena, namely the State, enterprises, associations, and also producers, to establish an adequate policy to regulate this potentially profitable activity and turn it into actually some thing that is profitable. |
