Abstract

1) Participation in Fair-trade Markets: Historical Context The Coordinadora Estatal de Productores de Cafe de Oaxaca (Oaxacan State Collective of Coffee Producers, CEPCO) was formed in 1989, coinciding not coincidently with a worldwide crisis in coffee prices and the withdrawal of Mexican government support from the Mexican Coffee Institute (INMECAFE), which for decades had promoted coffee production, technical training and coffee commercialization.
