The Cultural Impact of Globalization and Market Liberalization on the Vietnam Coffee IndustryDr. Annette Craven, Dr Nursen Zanca, Dr Pat LeMay Burr. The International Coffee Organization started in 1962 and controlled supply and demand of the coffee industry until the late 1980s. In 1989, the U.S., a major member of the ICO, exited in the interest of market liberalization.
A major coffee crisis began and four corporate giants took over the demand side of the coffee industry: Nestle, Proctor & Gamble, Kraft and Sara Lee. On the supply side there remained 25 million coffeeproducers. Vietnam is one coffee-producing country severely impacted by these changes. The primary purpose of this paper was to consider the cultural impact of (a) Vietnam's tremendous growth and major events in the coffee industry, and (b) Vietnam's strategic move toward membership in the World Trade Organization, which requires market liberalization.
