What are some of the legal and political concerns of coffee producers and growers?

Doing a report on marketing and need information on politics

Fair trade vs. free trade. There are criticisms of both methods. The intentions of fair trade are good but the local governments, who usually are very currupt because they are undeveloped countries, use it to exploit the growers and workers and don’t actually pay them fair wages or use the funds to help them at all. With free trade, some people say the corporations are exploiting the growers and workers. Good luck with your paper.
