When the price is
good, coffee is the crop which provides a Maya family with most of their cash income
for the year. Unfortunately for the Maya, southeast Asia has been
producing cheaper (and I hear, inferior coffee) so that the price in
Central America has at
times fallen well below what it costs to grow and pick it. When
considering that Guatemala coffee in the US costs at least six dollars a
pound, it is outrageous that twenty cents a pound can't go to the people
who tend and pick the coffee. The plants have to be grown for about
seven years before they begin bearing fruit. |
