It would be more sustainable if the poor countries that grow coffee would also be the ones that profit from it.
As it is the big coffee factories are all in the rich West.
- beebeepka 5y agoAlmost as if slavery is still very much a thing. Said poor countries are exactly where the do called west wants them to be. Do the Swiss grow coco? No, they buy it for peanuts, add some milk and sugar, then sell the final product for at least a modest profit. I wish it was easy to support the people doing the actual work but how? Supporting native brands? Sure but how I know who controls the company and if they are any better than the exploiter I am trying to avoid?
