Passage 1 (Items 31-35)

Given the plight of present-day coffee farmers. one might assume the coffee business
__________(31) __________, perhaps plagued by razor thin margins and floundering
demand. Nothing could be further from the truth. Globally, the industry is valued at more than
$200 billion. However, less than 10% of that aggregate wealth stays in producing countries,
and only 5 to 7% makes it to the farmers themselves. Much of the rest goes to wealthy
companies and their executives, who are almost exclusively based in North America and
Europe.
As prices paid to farmers have steadily declined, what consumers pay for coffee
__________ (33) __________. Between 1996 and 2018, the average retail cost of a 16-oz.
bag jumped from $4.04 to $9.67 and the cost of a cup from $1.25 to $1.94. That would be
fine if it followed a trend of larger returns passed to deserving producers, but that's not the
case. If you bought a Grande Latte later today, you would probably pay around $3.65. The
farmer responsible for those beans would receive $0.02 or $0.03 of that.
Considering that the sleeve around that cup costs $0.05, the takeaway is that a small piece
of cardboard is more valuable than the farmer's work.
