Those coffee growing countries need a CPEC to get wholesale prices up.

And the WTO should go to hell.

2. Haven't watched the series...........
But don't buy unless it's fair trade, and I NEVER buy coffee at Starbuck's....for the price they charge, they can afford to give the farmer enough to plant crops and make a living. They don't.

:grr:

3. Taped it to watch later. Really appreciate the great link you posted.
Noted there are watchable videos available at the link, which I plan to examine later, too.

This looks very important.
