The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This short paper examines two potent issues that affect coffee producers worldwide.First, we estimate whether the real price of coffee received by producers are decliningover time, making the coffee growers worse off. Secondly, we estimate how long ittakes for exogenous shocks to dissipate, so that farmers can be better informed tomanage volatile coffee prices. We find no evidence of any prevalent declining trend,and the time taken for a price shock to dissipate by half can vary widely from 5 to18 months for individual coffee prices.
