More great moments from The Old Grey Whistle Test. Steve Marriot really was a great showman
Thank you My friend Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen for posting. Yes this is focused on Latin American coffee.
To be honest I am not concerned. The best coffee grows at 6,000 feet in the sub tropics and tropics.
God is in complete control of all things including the environment.
Supply and demand govern coffee prices [except is socialism]
The demand for coffee will ensure that coffee farmers & producers from Philippines, to Sumatra to Nepal, to Ethiopia to Peru, Brazil, Costa Rica, will enjoy demand for high quality coffee.

'Latin America is a great place to cultivate coffee. The region is home to five of the world’s top 10 coffee producers, including Brazil, No. 1, and Colombia, which is famous for its high-quality beans. And demand for those beans is rising. Asia’s ever-expanding middle class is leading to increased consumption and putting pressure on Latin America farmers to produce more coffee.
Farmers in the region have long viewed coffee as a good way to make a living. Today the coffee industry employs more than 14 million people across Latin America. In recent years, though, climate change, pests and declining coffee prices have created a perfect storm that threatens the welfare of millions of producers and their families.
Those hurting the most are small producers, especially those with less than two hectares of land. The return on their investment is steadily declining, leading them to abandon coffee for other crops or to give up entirely and migrate to cities or even move abroad.'
