베트남 닥락성의 커피 중개상인: 지역 경제 변화의 매개체로서 역할을 하는 커피가치 사슬의 주요 이해 관계자 Coffee Middlemen in Dak Lak, Vietnam: A key stakeholder of coffee value chain as an intermediary of changes in local economies원문보기
일반적으로 커피 중개상인은 이윤을 극대화하기 위하여 농가의 커피 생산 통제, 불공정 커피 가격 지불, 일련의 부당 행위 등을 통하여 소규모 영세 커피 농가의 이윤을 착취하는 이른바 '코요테'로 인식되어 왔다. 그러나 베트남 커피 가치사슬 상에서 중개상인이 획득하는 실질적인 이윤은 과장되었으며, 심지어 부당하다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 커피 농가, 중개상인, 수출가공업체들 간의 관계 및 연계 분석을 통하여 베트남 커피 가치사슬에서 커피중개상인의 역할과 의미를 재고찰하고자 하였다. 분석 결과, 베트남 커피 중개상인이 획득하는 이윤은 타 커피 관련 주체들과 비교하여 상대적으로 미미하였으며, 지역 커피 농가의 이윤을 착취하기 보다는 오히려 지역 경제 변화의 매개체로서 중요한 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 베트남 닥락 커피 중개상인은 농가에 구매자를 공급해줌으로써 지역 커피 농가의 글로벌 시장 접근성을 제고시켜 시장 촉진자로서의 역할을 하였다. 또한 글로벌 수출 가공업체의 수요에 조응하는 지속 가능한 커피 생산을 활성화하여 지속 가능한 커피 생산의 매개체로서 역할을 하였다.

A series of coffee middlemen has come to be regarded as an exploitative force in the lives of small and poor coffee farmers, which is called 'coyote', controlling production, paying unfair prices for labor and goods, and participating in fraudulent practices to maximize their own profits. However, the reality of gains captured by coffee middlemen in the value chain might be exaggerated and even unfair. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to reconsider the implication of coffee middlemen for the development of coffee value chain in Vietnam. It also attempts to identify their characteristics by investigating relations among coffee farmers, middlemen and processing/exporting firms. In terms of middlemen's margin in the coffee sub-sector, their margin is quite small when compared to other actors higher in the value chain. Rather, coffee middlemen in Vietnam have played a critical role as an intermediary of change in local economies. More specifically, coffee middlemen in Dak Lak has played a significant role as a market facilitator by stimulating the access of farmers to markets by providing buyers for farmers thanks to changes in institutional environment. Also, they have played a critical role as an agent of sustainable coffee production by encouraging sustainable coffee production in accordance with the demand of processing and exporting firms.
