Development of Joy Manor in Nicaragua Coffee Manor in the country where washed Arabica beans are produced

In Nicaragua, the coffee industry provides 200,000 jobs, and coffee beans are the country's most economically valuable crop, accounting for 20% of the country's total exports. The downturn in coffee futures prices has hit all countries producing washed Arabica beans, but the pain seems to be amplified in nigeria, where many diversified coffee producers, such as costa rica, make up for losses in the coffee industry with revenues from other industries, such as self-help tourism or multinational companies (such as Intel, which has a presence in costa rica).

In February of this year, I took part in a coffee buyer's mission to Nicaragua. I have visited Nicaragua's coffee producing areas occasionally for the past nine years, but this time, I felt the sinister impact that Nicaragua's coffee industry is facing. The continuously depressed coffee futures price has a serious impact on the Nigerian economy. But even with these obstacles, the people in this place are optimistic and innovative, and the people in Nicaragua are constantly trying to introduce new coffee models in an attempt to turn around the recession. Perhaps because Nicaragua has faced various crises in the past few years, their attitude towards crisis management can help them turn crisis into economic and social chaos in Nicaragua, affecting hundreds of thousands of people. Whether it is unemployment, reduced immigration and national health problems, all of which are very troublesome for the Nigerian government.

A study by the University of California, Santa Cruz, found that 21 percent of children in Nicaragua's coffee-producing regions were malnourished, compared with 9 percent of the country's population. Mike Maxey, USAID's Country Director for Nicaragua, said: "When we say coffee farmers are in crisis, we don't necessarily mean they're in danger of losing their families. We mean that they may starve. About 70 percent of the people living in Nicaragua's coffee-producing areas spend less than two dollars a day. Nicaragua is finally back in the arms of the boutique coffee market, and many roasters are now coming to see Nicaragua beans as a unique coffee-producing area. These buyers have a huge change in their impression of Nigerian coffee, from using it as a companion bean in the early days to using it as a fine single bean now, which shows that the quality of Nigerian coffee has improved a lot.

In fact, recently many buyers from the United States, Europe and Japan have often visited Nicaragua's production area. It can be said that it is a phoenix flying to the branches. However, Nicaragua is not so lucky. Apart from coffee, they have no other industries to replace the losses. Nicaragua's Deputy Minister of Agriculture said: "This year's downturn in coffee futures prices has reduced the overall revenue of coffee farmers in our country by US $1 million, which has directly affected the livelihood of about 30,000 coffee farmers, especially those in growing areas. For Nicaragua, the overall coffee industry recession has had a great impact on the country.
