Coffee is grdown mostly by small farmers as a cash crop, a crop that

they can sell to try to make a living.  These farmers are poor, and they

do not have any reserves of money to support them when their crops fail

or when coffee prices are low.  The small farmers take whatever price

the coffee buyers offer.  The governments of many coffee-growing

countries have very large external debts.  Therefore, the governments need

to export in order to repay the debts.  The coffee-growing countries

are forced into competition with each other, each trying to get a bigger

share of the market.  This means that they all produce more and more

coffee.  As a result, the price falls, so their financial problems get worse.
