Concerns Over Labor Practices in Brazilian Coffee Industry
A watchdog group, Coffee Watch, has petitioned the Trump administration to block coffee imports from Brazil, claiming they are produced using forced labor resembling modern-day slavery. The petition targets major companies like Starbucks, Nestle, and Dunkin’, highlighting a systemic issue where vulnerable workers, often trapped in debt bondage, face brutal conditions. A lawsuit against Starbucks also seeks accountability for labor abuses in its supply chain, with advocacy groups pressing for greater transparency and action against these practices in Brazil’s coffee sector.
