| Description: | True Price calculated and compared the true price of the client’s Nicaraguan coffee with Nicaraguan Fairtrade coffee and conventional coffee from Brazil. Next, True Price identified and assessed two projects that could further reduce the environmental externalities of the coffee; micro-irrigation could reduce the true price with 23%, with a pay-back time of the initial investment of less than one year. A bio-digester was also identified as a financial viable solution for water pollution. |
