Coffee prices: Growers vs. Reetailers

Coffee growers which include mostly developing countries, gained a higher increase in prices vs. retailers over the 90's. But the differentials are fairly evident. Given the prices(stated in US $'s per pound), we observe that retailers sell the coffee for 100x the prices paid to growers. 
 We'll have to wait for the ICO to publish data on the 2000's to see what the most recent stats are.
