It's 1970, and the dawn of a new era has arrived—the future of coffee farming is looking brighter than ever! With the advent of new Fair Trade standards, small-scale coffee farmers from regions around the world are now empowered with access to new markets.

In Coffee Traders, you and your competitors must work together to develop the regions best suited for cultivating the finest coffee beans while keeping a keen eye on the ever-changing market. Strategically construct buildings to support your Fair Trade coffee plantations and enhance your trading network. Your decisions will determine whether your plantations thrive or fall into ruin.

Will you rise to the top and become the world’s greatest Coffee Trader, or will the challenges of the global market overwhelm your efforts? The stakes are high, and the competition is fierce—only the most astute trader will succeed in this complex and rewarding game of strategy and economic development.
