Abstract

This research investigates the income disconnect between the producers and consumers of high-quality single-origin coffee through a case study in the producing region of Matagalpa, Nicaragua. By investigating the different schemes already in place to help improve the livelihoods of farmers, this research aims to uncover the ways in which these schemes succeed or fall short.
