Courtesy of data from the International Coffee Organization, the folks over at FinancesOnline.com have put up a slick infographic with a bounty of interesting facts and figures about the coffee industry.
The infographic details everything from the role of "coffee coyotes" -- middlemen who force farmers to sell coffee at a loss, then sell the product to millers for a high profit -- to the roles that giants like Dunkin Donuts (NASDAQ: DNKN) and Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) play.
