Coffee and tea are two of the most ubiquitous beverage crops that are grown globally, and together they represent a significant share of the beverage industry overall. Even with the rise of packaged sodas, tea remains the second most popular beverage in the world, just below water. Coffee, though less sipped than tea by volume, is second only to crude oil in terms of its value (International Coffee Organization, 2015). Due to the value of these beverage crops, the production of coffee and tea represents an important point of focus for addressing global inequalities in agriculture for women in smallholder farming. This chapter will explore the recent historical evolution of these industries and efforts by women coffee and tea farmers to address inequalities in their agricultural spheres on the farm, in cooperatives, and through coordinated efforts at multiple levels of the coffee and tea supply chains.
