I recall watching a documentary about the way coffee is purchased and sold. If I remember right all of the coffee was purchased by the large companies like Nestle' from a central point where all of the farmers bring the beans to. This would mean that no one really knows what plantation the beans came from by the time they get purchased. The slavery is terrible but I don't think that Nestle' or any of these other large coffee companies are responsible for it so I don't think finger pointing will solve anything. This is an issue that needs to be taken care of on the ground where it's happening.
