CARANAVI, Bolivia—On the shaded side of a jungle mountain, local coffee farmer Fernando Jordan points to a row of bushes loaded with clusters of red berries.
“If you plant one hectare of land here, it will cost you $20,000 to $30,000 dollars to actually produce coffee,” he told The Epoch Times.
Jordan’s words strike a chord and reflect one of several problems Latin America’s coffee growers face, including a significant spike in demand, supply chain issues, and high operating and transport costs.
