The evaluation of the Coffee Market under the Application of the
Coffeeconomics index
Abstract
The Coffeeconomics index is an alternative index to evaluate the Coffee
market structure behaviour from a microeconomic and macroeconomic
perspective. Hence, the coffee market structure is formed by the
interaction of four large players such as coffee producers (small,
cooperatives, and large), coffee brokers, coffee sellers (large, medium,
and small), and coffee consumers. The main objective is to evaluate the
vulnerabilities of the coffee market structure as a whole through the
application of the National Coffee Production Function
(NCP-Function). Finally, we calculate the NCP-Function to evaluate the
risk and vulnerability of the coffee market structure of Guatemala
between 1928 and 2018 respectively.
