I am sorry , but i have to disagree with this video , i live in Brazil , the world biggest coffee exporter and i live in the region of Brazil that has the most coffee plantations (In the south part of the state of Minas Gerais) and there are two points that I would like to make First : Coffee plantations owners in Brazil do not compete among themselves , they have cooperatives in with all the owners store they're coffee, the cooperative sells coffee in bulk for exportation making the most out of every harvest . Second : All most all of the plantations over here are fully mechanized , the only hand picking is done in areas very close to the mountains were the machines cannot reach . The plantations over here are huge , the medium size is about 500 hectares of coffee plants , its more of an industry than farms , and due to that and to the constant advances in technologythe prices of Brazilian coffee are keept "low".

Well coffee is one of the most difficult crops to harvest because unlike wheat or rice or any other fruit, coffee beans do not ripe at the same time. There are unriped berries just alongside ripe ones. For you have to carefully collect the ripe ones while leaving unriped berries completely untouched. So modern mass harvesting methods will not work there.

[@frankschneider6156]

Your "insight" just shows one thing: an incredible lack of basic economic understanding. On a market, prices are determined by demand and supply, not by what somebody for whatever reason considers "appropriate". That equilibrium market price is the true value of the good and thus fair. If the price of a cup of coffee would be artificially raised to e.g. 25$ practically nobody would drink it and switch to a competing substitute (tea, cola, juice, water whatever). As a result of a drop of demand to practically zero, the coffee industry would completely collapse and vanish within weeks and coffee farmers would have an unsellable good, and thus no income, leading to starvation or them having to grow something else with even lower profit margins. That's far worse than their current situation. People grow and farm coffee, because that's the most profitable option they have. If they would have a better alternative (which they don't), they'd pursue that instead of coffee. They might be poor, but aren't completely stupid. That's why people today farm coffee, because doing so makes them better off than all alternatives they have. It's incredible, that people operating a "business oriented channel" don't seem' to have the slightest understanding of economics and markets. Get yourself a beginners economy textbook man.

[@pannacotta9493]

I supported this opinion. Besides, coffee farmers are not solely sells coffee. In my country, coffee is grown alongside another type of fruits, i.e. lime/oranges/etc. It affects the fragrance and flavour of the coffee. Coffee farmers hard labour only comes once in a while because coffee takes a few years to mature. In between those free times they are taking their labour to takes care of other plants and fruits. From the producers standpoint, his opinion and 'research' is bullshit. And yeah. Coffee farmers are not dumb, they know how to maintain their business, and how to take care of their workers (at least in my country)

[@frankschneider6156]

@david stewart The addictiveness of coffee is a little bit different than the one of heroin, this means that the price elasticity is pretty small and even heroin addicts switch to cheaper substitutes if they can't afford the real stuff. Exactly the same would happen to a luxury item such as coffee, but to a far stronger. You can't afford it anymore -> you get a substitute instead. No to mention that on a market sellers over time always adjust the price in such a way, that profit is maximized. If they have done that, all further price increases will inevitably lead to a drop of demand (and thus decline of profit). That's how markets work.

[@AkumaNoKuma]

Whatever you said your right about economics, but this is definitely not fair their working on farm by free will because they have no other oppertunities in their countries and have to sell their good for cheap forcibly due to compitition not by free will ( Inhumane wages are not fair that is the fact don't label it fair ). I understand buisness is buisness irrespective of fairness, but you atleast have to be honest about it.

Coffee will never cost $25 of 2019 USD. Long before it gets near that automation and specialized farming equipment will replace much of the labor costs. Just because it's picked by hand today when labor is way cheaper than it ought to be, doesn't mean it will still be picked by hand when labor prices increase 10 fold.

[@carpo719]

Mechanization just adds more cost on top, to design the machines then to get them to work on the hillsides, and learn to pick the beans properly. On top of that, warming climate is making coffee harder to grow. Crops are dropping by 50% or more. It likely won't cost $25, it's not going to get any cheaper

[@WalkinNowhere]

@@carpo719 firstly your last point, coffee prices are lower than they were 30 years ago, I believe they won't keep going down for long but that not saying much when it's so cheap. Most importantly mechanization WILL lower the price, I have no idea where you heard it makes prices go up, a machine will work for years and only need spare parts and mechanics, a person needs a wage no matter how low! And global warming will just shift production to the areas where the temperature is now suitable... The biggest issue with global warming isn't that it gets too "warm or cold" it's the storms and other weather phenomena that make it so dangerous.

[@TheStackeddeck77]

As someone college educated on ethics and anthropology I can tell you fair trade makes all the difference. Real fair trade is when a group of growers form their own group or co-op so they have pooled resources to get the advantage larger companies have. It gives them leverage on what prices the set, where they buy equipment, storage areas, and a community of growers that help support each other. As regular people cant go to columbia and give growers money for beans buying fair trade is the only option we currently have that actually helps. That said rair trade is a label and making sure it's true to form is difficult do your research first before buying fair trade willy nilly.

In 1972 a cup of coffee was 5 cents a cup at Dennys .

To the people who think they'll be off the hook drinking tea instead of coffee, the manufacturing of tea is also quite similar to coffee. Both require extremely cheap harsh labour for harvesting and basic processing. Most tea pickers in my country, Sri Lanka probably dont make 5 dollars a day and there have been massive protests and strikes from unions demanding higher wages and better working conditions. Dont be surprised if the price of both tea and coffee go up dramatically in the next decade.

What will business be in 2050

If we can design and produce automated harvesters, we'd be absolutely golden

[@Salamanderman117]

"as developing nation's advance" they will create machines to take the labor jobs, the laborers will have to change professions, and life will go on as it has.

The first round of automation got rid of humans by being stronger. This round of automation will get rid of humans by being smarter. This is a big difference.

you need to have an open mind, my friend. You think too little

[@amanahmed6057]

plzzz brother can u tell me how to edit your video and with which software U used

[@contineus999hungry]

Welp, time to resort to coca leaves for tea.

[@JakovRudi]

The mistake video does is that it takes a static view of a dynamic system and completely forgets what happens with increase of price of any commodity. I'm speaking of automation of course. Most obvious non "food" example would be oil price (in 50-ish $) that didn't rise due to advances in extraction, primarily fracking, which gave USA leverage (against OPEC). For a more relatable example look at some of the videos of Netherlands farms & green houses and how farming is done there. Once a price of raw coffee exceeds a certain limit that will lead to drop in consumption & profit of big trades/manufacturers, investment in automation technology will be made in order to bring it down.(perhaps a good example would also be olive farming & automation done there)

[@alexsaab8089]

If that happens people will riot. Although I can't imagine foldgers price going up too much.

[@jafizzle95]

That's because Folgers is made of burnt wood chips and mulch. Not coffee.

[@Canleaf08]

Rioting over coffee?? Get a life.

[@justdoit2521]

Na, i think they'll just start using some chemical substances to produce a new kind of coffee that only contains 10 ‰ or less of actual coffee. They'll keep the price the same untill you won't have any coffee in your coffee

[@B1G_Dave]

Good job I'm a tea drinker ...right?

[@neoc03]

How do you explain the fact that coffee grown in HI is the same price as the coffee from developing nations? It doesn't need to cost $25, but inequality is an issue.

[@eric4681702]

What is "HI"?
