Wallerstein's World System Theory is applied to the coffee market to illustrate the impact of the industry on social, political and environmental aspects of the coffee producing countries whilst perpetuating the western oligopoly which has forced down export prices making it difficult to provide those involved in coffee production with a decent wage.
