 The story follows the efforts of an Ethiopian Coffee Union manager as he travels the world to obtain a better price for his workers' coffee beans.
The Farmers' Alliance was an organized agrarian economic movement among American farmers that developed and flourished in 1875.
 The movement included several parallel but independent political organizations — the National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union among the white farmers of the South, the National Farmers' Alliance among the white and black farmers of the Midwest and High Plains, where the Granger movement had been strong, and the Colored Farmers' National Alliance and Cooperative Union, consisting of the African American farmers of the South.
The Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (OCFCU) is an Ethiopian agricultural cooperative federation, established in June 1999, representing approximately 102,950 coffee growers, processors, and exporters of the Oromia Region of southern and western Ethiopia.
 OCFCU started with 34 cooperatives and $90,000 USD in capital.
 Its first exports amounted to 72 metric tons and $130,000.
 Today, its exports have grown to 7,000 metric tons and sales exceeding $40 million.
 In 2014 OCFCU represented 240 cooperatives with 250,000 members.
 They grow coffee of the "arabica" species exclusively, and produce both conventionally grown and organically grown beans.
 The union has chosen to bypass many of the middlemen that characterize the international coffee trade, sorting, roasting, and exporting its own coffee rather than simply growing and picking it the way most other Ethiopian coffee farmers do.
 The union returns 70 percent of its gross profits to its cooperatives.
Henry Nelson Pope (April 23, 1859 - June 13, 1956) was president of the Texas Farmers Union and president of the Association of State Presidents of the Farmers' Education and Cooperative Union of America, and president of the American Federation of Organized Producers and Consumers.
The coffee industry of Kenya is noted for its cooperative system of production, processing, milling, marketing, and auction system.
 About 70% of Kenyan coffee is produced by small- scale holders.
 It was estimated in 2012 that there were about 150,000 coffee farmers in Kenya and other estimates are that six million Kenyans were employed directly or indirectly in the coffee industry.
 The major coffee-growing regions in Kenya are the high plateaus around Mt. Kenya, the Aberdare Range, Kisii, Nyanza, Bungoma, Nakuru, Kericho and to a smaller scale in Machakos and Taita hills in Eastern and coast provinces respectively.

The Federación Campesina del Cauca is a non-profit, member-owned federation of coffee grower associations based in the Cauca Department of Colombia.

 The federation was licensed FLO Cert in 2004, and has since acquired certification for producing both conventional and organic coffee.
National Farmers Union (officially Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union of America) is a national federation of state Farmers Union organizations in the United States.
 It is the second largest general farm organization in the country, after Farm Bureau.
 The organization was founded in 1902 in Point, Texas, and is now headquartered in Washington, D.C. Today, the organization continues its original mission: to protect and enhance the economic well-being and quality of life for family farmers and ranchers and their rural communities.
