Page "Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia" Paragraph 12

Given the positive advancement of coffee growing in Colombia, an important group of coffee growers, dedicated to the export of the beans, organized an association to regulate the market.

Thus, in 1904, the coffee producers organization (" Sociedad de Productores de Café ") was established.

Although its good intentions, it failed to regulate the industry and the market.

It wasult task, as the global conditions were complicated due to overproduction, price volatility and the events of World War I.

The coffee industry in the nation was evolving and growers, merchants and exporters could not agree on policies and regulations to organize and consolidate it.
