The word "poverty" can be defined as the state of having little money, few materials, and a lack of productivity. Adding poverty to coffee would mean that there is a lack of productivity not only in coffee but also in what farmers receive in return. Farmers around the world are becoming poorer and poorer because of a drink that is purchased every second around the world. This injustice stems from the lack of fair trade that is occurring around the world. Businesses and ordinary people should know how important fair trade is, especially for those who grow our coffee and support their families. There are approximately 25 million coffee producers worldwide and 50% of their coffee prices have decreased in the past. three years (Background: coffee). This indicates that the amount of money farmers receive from selling their coffee to other companies has been decreasing at an increasing rate. As a result, this becomes very disastrous because they sell their beans at a higher cost than it takes to produce the coffee beans. So when the coffee beans are then sold to a company, they receive little money from them, so that company would resell the beans at a much higher price making profits that are never given to the farmers. For example, a coffee farmer in Tanzania earned around $60 from a year's worth of coffee production, which equates to just 16 cents a day, this amount of money would not have been able to cover the costs of producing more coffee beans. coffee and not even to provide for the consumption of coffee. own family (coffee market). Family, every coffee farmer has to work to provide for their family, but working in the fields picking beans all day does not help these farmers earn a living that would help them buy food for the family. Furthermore, adults are not the only ones who have to work to have money to buy food, children also have to work for their family. Oxfam, a famine-fighting committee, had interviewed Vietnamese, East African and Peruvian farmers saying that the price of coffee was the problem affecting their children's education. Parents do not have the money to pay for education, uniforms, food and school books.
