An Ethiopian goatherd discovered coffee. Coffee was a simple food and beverage for tribesmen. Now, it is sold in large quantities worldwide as one of the top value in trade. Coffee exporting countries and many people depend on coffee as the main income and drink coffee a lot. In 1975, a frost killed almost half of Brazil’s coffee trees changing the prices drastically. In 1979, frost hit Brazil again. Every tree lost result in no income for three to five years. The income loss is huge considering 15 million trees were lost and Brazil had to stop exporting coffee. Importers bought it in bulk afraid of the shortage, afterwards prices increased and farmers planted more. Coffee was abundant and prices fell. Farmers began substituting coffee for other crops. Producers and consumers decided to limit production to what the market can absorb, have a reserve and sell at an agreeable price.
