Book (stand-alone)FAO Coffee Pocketbook 2015
Also available in:
No results found.Coffee has become an important contributor to cash income for many smallholders, who produce most of the world’s beans. Today, the annual output has reached almost nine million tonnes, one million tonnes more than a decade ago. The gross value of production of green coffee now exceeds US$16 billion, its export value reached US$24 billion in 2012. While rising demand offers unprecedented opportunities to growers, they also have to live up to a growing set of challenges. Many are confronted with i nadequate access to credit, high price volatility, bureaucratic hurdles at home and market barriers abroad. And they are operating in a global value chain where a vast and often unorganized number of growers are exposed to the market power of a small number of traders and roasters. As if that were not enough, many smallholders find it hard to cope with the vagaries of weather from year to year and the deteriorating growing conditions brought about by climate change over the longer-term. This Cof fee Pocketbook puts numbers to these developments, assesses short-term changes and long-term trends in production, consumption, trade and prices, and provides useful background information on related shifts in poverty, health and rural development. It is part of the FAO Statistical Yearbook suite of products and is organized around two major sections: thematic spreads with data-driven visualizations, and comprehensive country and regional profiles. -
