coffee y campesinos

[Mrtqtpbl]

Hola,
I am a fotojournalist from montreal, and will soon be heading to Nicaragua to take a closer look at a crisis that has been happening for some time, but gets little media coverage here in the North; that is the present coffee crisis and its effect on the local campesinos. I am wondering if anybody would have any informatiomn regarding the situation, or if anybody knows of good websites/publicatons where i can learn more. i have been following nicaraguan daily papers for some time now, but i find there is still not a lot of info.
Also if anybody knows, or works with local organisations that are involved with campesinos in Nicaragua that i can be in touch with while i am in Nicaragua i would greatly appreciate it.
Pueden contestar en espanol tambien.
Gracias y hasta pronto

Vincenzo

Here is a good article, but it's probably what you already know. If I find more info I'll post it.

I've come across a farmers' network called Campesino a Campesino spanning all of Latin America, organised by the NGO network Enlace Sur-Sur, good websites to start are: http://www.enlacesursur.org.sv/pcac/index.htm

Also, have you tried the Fairtrade Foundation? They've published a report on the coffee trade, available for download at:

Good luck!
