Will the farmers get the money the coffee trademark will be generating?

Given the current government's repeated violation of law and order even in terms of the constitution it wrote, its tarnished human rights records, and attempts to silence the public in every way possible including repression and war, the role it plays in such initiatives is rightly questionable.

Also, the current marketing system in the country is skewed towards favoring government affiliated middlemen and exporters more than the poor farmers.

My upcoming post will discuss this topic in further depth and attempt to explain or suggest systems that will reinforce the farmers' opportunity to directly benefit from this and other projects.
