But even the region's largest planters are small-scale farmers by international standards, many of them smallholders whose families have been working for two centuries. The coffee industry in Jamaica faces a number of problems, such as the impact of hurricanes, increased labour costs and difficulties in mechanising terraces. Many small estates and farms are difficult to rationalize.
