The article analyzes the new challenges facing organic-coffee producers in the current scenario of global trade, taking into account efficient mechanisms of commercial hegemony that have characterized the balance of power in the region for the last two centuries. In this sense, it analyzes local initiatives that promote, with relative success, more equitable productive schemes aimed at achieving fair and differentiated trade. The objective is to understand the operability of the global business, to help establish the bases for fairer and more efficient productive schemes.
