The market equilibrium price for coffee beans in Ecuador is $2.75/pound, a price at which growers are unable to make a profit. Due to the lack of profits, many growers have stopped production and the output of coffee beans has fallen from 400 tons per year to 250 tons per year. As a result of pleas from the growers, the government steps in and sets a floor price for coffee beans at $3.50/pound.
