Coffee Case study 1
-
spatial distribution, production
Coffee is grown in warm hot countries around the equator as a result one of the biggest coffee producers are brazil and columbia
there are 2 types of coffee bean, arabica (70% of global coffee) and robusta, arabica is high quality and mainly grown in south america where as robusta is mainly grown in west africa and asia
Coffee is traded globally like many products, is produced by less developed countries and consumed by HICs
Brazil is the largest producer (20% of worlds coffee) and the USA is the largest consumer (20% of the worlds coffee)
Price fluctuations can effect coffee farmers e.g. in Vietnam they increased the level of production from 1987 and the price per KG dropped which put a lot of farmers out of business as they could not afford to produce at such a low price (fault of TNC)
The price of coffee is linked directly so supply and demand e.g. if demand is high then price will be high but people will produce more coffee which will increase supply and therefore lower the price (technically a negative feedback loop)
