Small coffee producers vs TNC


There was a decade when the coffee production in Ixhuatlán del Café and generally in all the coffee regions in Mexico grew up positively, probably thanks to the creation of INMECAFE (Mexican Coffee Institute); this institution supported producers by giving them machinery, tools and especially technical advice. At the end of the 90’s and the earlier 2000’s, this Institute disappeared, and Transnational Companies such as AMSA monopolized the means of production; this fact is generally considered the cause of the decreasing of incomes for small producers.

My research paper will be focused in the confirmation of this hypothesis; it will come to a developing strategy, which will help to solve part of the problem with a final result: an architectural project.
