This has caused many coffee farmers in Indonesia to stop growing coffee and switch to other plants, such as oranges. Indonesia, the fourth largest coffee producer in the world, is suffering to compete in the world's market. Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen reports from Bali.

Buy fair trade! One of the many benefits: fair trade organizations guarantee producers the price, typically above world average (among other benefits) - for precisely the reason outlined here - to avoid market fluctuations and instability.
