Best Answer

Because coffee, as well as many other 'commodity' products such as cotton, tobacco or copper have a price that fluctuates on a daily basis, dependent on global supply and demand. This means that today you can sell a pound of coffee for 142.80 US dollars, but tomorrow it can be priced at 120 dollars per pound and the day after tomorrow it can reach 150 dollars per pound. That is why is a very unreliable source of income.
