Import of coffee that has cheaper and lower quality affects Mexican production

The abandonment of coffee production in Mexico is partly due to the fact that the Federal Government has allowed the entry of Central American coffee with lower quality than national "but more economic."
According to Obdulio Bandala Jiménez, large companies buy this cheap product, supplying their demand and stop buying Mexican coffee.
Faced with this situation, on August 2 producers and industry leaders of Mexico Coffee Sector held a meeting in the capital to analyse the national scene and present prospects for growth and development of the coffee and thus reached an agreement propose to the Federal Government to revive economic field. For this, a budget for 2014 of approximately 2.8 billion pesos (U.S.$ 214.28 million) will be needed.
Obdulio Jimenez reiterated that the demand for a better budget to coffee is not the solution, but it will be an incentive for people to continue to produce and renew their farms and make it a little more profitable.
He also said that in the coffee field currently there is hunger. "Much hunger and much misery," because the price of coffee fell to 5 pesos ($ 0.38) per kilogram and "unfortunately this region, 10 yards (sacks of 46 pounds) per hectare on average, and the question is: how will these people live? Therefore, we have to have a culture of renewal farms to be more profitable. "
In 2012, he said there was no attention to the producer by the dependencies of the agricultural sector. However, the producers of this region acquired new plants at a cost of 2.50 (U.S.$ 0.19).
"In 2011, there was a bit of resources and, in 2013, has not yet reached any resources to the sector and yet producers follow working to break down and not be in the worst misery."
Finally, proposed that federal funds be managed by the Mexican Association of Coffee Production Chain (Amecafé) so that these arrive on time and are delivered directly to producers and thus there is a charge for the management and distribution of resources.
