The Tragedy of Coffee - A Bizarre and Heartbreaking Tale
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print titled "The Tragedy of Coffee" we are transported back to Brazil in the year 1932. The image, captured by the talented Achille Beltrame, depicts a scene that is both unusual and tragic. During this time, Brazil held a surplus of coffee beans, causing prices to plummet. Rather than lowering prices to make it more accessible for consumers, Brazil made the shocking decision to destroy their excess supply. Almost five million quintals (a unit of weight) have already been destroyed in various ways - but none as peculiar as throwing them into the sea under police supervision! As we gaze upon the photo print, our eyes are drawn to several boats filled with sailors and policemen standing on deck. They tip overboard countless bags of precious coffee beans into the vast ocean below. It's a sight that leaves us questioning humanity's choices. This image serves as a powerful reminder of how economic decisions can sometimes lead to wasteful destruction. The tragedy lies not only in witnessing such valuable resources being discarded but also in contemplating the impact it has on those who rely on coffee production for their livelihoods. Beltrame's illustration captures an eerie atmosphere surrounding this bizarre act – one that defies logic and reason. As viewers, we cannot help but feel a sense of sorrow for all parties involved: from the Brazilian farmers facing financial hardships due to low prices, to those who could benefit from affordable access to this beloved beverage. "The Tragedy of Coffee" stands as a haunting testament reminding us about the complexities within our global economy and its far-reaching consequences.
