Description
'A coffee farmer steps forward. He looks upset. "On the radio, they tell us, 'coffee is gold', but we get hardly anything from it."
While the world's big coffee companies make huge profits, coffee farmers in developing countries live in poverty. One man, Tadesse Meskela, wants to change this. In 1999 he started the Oromia Coffee Farmers' Co-operative Union in Ethiopia. His goal is to get a fairer price for his farmers' coffee and bring them a better life. Can he achieve success?
With Fact Files on the history of coffee, Ethiopia - the birthplace of coffee, and the Fair Trade movement. ISBN:9781905775552
