Abstract
The Coffeeconomics index is an alternative index
to evaluate the Coffee market structure behaviour from a microeconomic and
macroeconomic perspective. Hence, the coffee market structure is formed by the
interaction of four large players such as coffee producers (small,
cooperatives, and large), coffee brokers, coffee sellers (large, medium, and
small), and coffee consumers. The main objective is to evaluate the vulnerabilities
of the coffee market structure as a whole through the application of the National Coffee Production Function (NCP-Function). Finally, we calculate the NCP-Function to
evaluate the risk and vulnerability of the coffee market structure of Guatemala
between 1928 and 2018 respectively.
