Starting with two previous Anker Methodology Living Wage Benchmark studies carried out in Colombia (for banana-producing and coffee-producing regions, respectively), this report uses secondary data to extrapolate living costs and living wages to the capital city of Bogotá. The gross living wage for the city of Bogotá was found to be COP 3,144,579 (USD 764) for 2022, which is around 2.4 times the minimum wage.

This report provides Anker Living Income estimates for three coffee growing areas in Brazil: Northwest Espírito Santo; Zona da Mata mineira, and Triângulo Mineiro/Alto Paranaíba.

This report provides updated estimates of family living expenses for the coffee-producing rural Guji zone, a small administrative division in the south of Ethiopia in the Oromia Region. (Featured Image: @rodrigoflores_photo)
