1. Coffee and slavery
The time of the release of coffee spread to Latin America, the slave trade was already rampant. At that time, slavery was used mainly for sugarcane plantation operations. But while getting coffee farms begin to increase alternative to sugar cane plantations. This is the beginning of the slave trade right through the history of coffee.
Today, Africa has been in the spotlight as a world coffee producer. And unlike the situation of former slaves and their past coffee farms directly operating the farm. But these imports compared to the efforts of the farm as they only produce very low. Intermediary traders because of the great powers were to take all the profits. Poor countries coffee growers, under the pretext of aid and investment to ensure the coffee of developed countries, was placed on re-unequal dependency. Similar to the past, the owner of a coffee plantation became the 'slaves indirectly' for the benefit of the major powers.
2. Solution: coffee fair trade deal
Fair Trade is a national trade takes place in the same location. Rectify the economic imbalance between producers and enterprises, and stimulate consumer's ethical consumption. What is fair trade, fair trade and to derive political parties say the alternative trade scheme that helps to enable spontaneous growth.
Fairtrade coffee is oriented to 'good consumption'.
The opposition to the exploitation of child labor and low quality *'Robusta' cultivation of the species. Also prefer organic coffee considering ecosystem conservation. In poor African economy, fair trade coffee is a fair price to pay for these. Rights and to give a fair income for producers of coffee plantations, and the positive role that can help you grow yourself.
*'Robusta' : One of the types of coffee, coffee is grown for commercial purposes. The bitter taste is strong, with low quality coffee.
