Coffeeconomics

Mario Arturo Ruiz Estrada

Resumen


Coffeeconomics is an alternative field of economic
research that can be used to evaluate coffee
market structure behaviour from microeconomic
and macroeconomic perspectives. The coffee
market structure consists of the interaction of
four large players: coffee producers (small, large
and cooperatives), coffee brokers, coffee sellers
(large, medium and small) and coffee consumers.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the
vulnerabilities of the coffee market structure as
a whole through the application of the National
Coffee Production Function (NCP-Function). Finally,
the NCP-Function of Guatemala was calculated in
order to evaluate the risk and vulnerability of its
coffee market structure between 1928 and 2018.
