While glossy multinational coffee companies dominate our shopping malls and supermarkets, coffee farmers on the other side of the world are being paid so little that many have been forced to abandon their farms. In an attempt to save 75 000 struggling coffee farmers from bankruptcy, Tadesse Meskela searches for buyers willing to pay a fair price - and inadvertently begins to unravel a tangled web of greed and double-dealing that infiltrates the international trading system at every level, right on through to the World Trade Organisation. |
