Can the structure address the unequal relationship between the powerful multinational companies and the farmers?
Yes. The structure of the Council is biased in favour of the coffee farmers. All members meet once every three years at the General Assembly. The General Assembly is the highest decision making body. At the meeting, the General Assembly elects a Council to steer the strategy of the 4C Association. The Council strengthens the participation of farmers, as it allows them seven seats, compared to just five seats each for trade/industry and civil society.
