March 30, 2006, Bogotá - Carlos Olaya talks about the connection between starvation and poverty in Colombia and the strategies of national and transnational food companies. Coffee: The monopoly strategy of Nestlé, Cargill, Procter&Gambler and Kraft Food had the effect that the price of coffee decreased throughout the 1990s by about two thirds. Due to this price decline about 150,000 coffee-producing families lost their jobs.
