Employment Generation. Considering the wide dispersion and equitable distribution of mineral endowments in virtually every nook and corner of the country, the immediate positive fallout of its exploitation would be the abundant generation of employment opportunities. At the height of mining activities in Nigeria the labor market was positively impacted as can be seen from Table 6 appearing hereunder. The corresponding spiral unemployment that ensued on its relapse as can be gleaned from Table 7. Between 1970 and 1980, there was an almost total national halt in solid minerals exploitation due to the depression in the market price of minerals worldwide. Even when the prices picked up in the 1980s, due to limited mining activities, employment activities were meager as can be seen as from Table 7.

Employment Generation. The Project expects that activities to maintain plantations and harvest 2,498,428 pounds of parchment coffee produced by the 50 RVCP grower groups in San Marcos will generate about 1,057 temporary jobs. RVCP grower groups in Huehuetenango will generate 3,737 jobs during the 2016-2017 growing season to harvest 8,832,200 pounds of parchment coffee. The jobs estimates are based on the need for 11 man/days to produce 100 pounds of parchment coffee (260 man/days in a year).
Employment Generation. With productivity targets at 3,000 pounds of parchment coffee per hectare, the Project expects RVCP growers from 28 groups to produce combined yields of 14,663,700 pounds. Considering that the manpower required to process 100 pounds of parchment coffee is 11 man/days, the 2016-2017 harvest is expected to require a combined total of 1,613,007 man/days that are equivalent to 6,204 formal jobs. Furthermore, producer groups will maintain their current 517 permanent administrative and technical jobs.
Employment Generation. Over the course of RVCP Year Five, the Project expects that horticulture activities will generate 540 new jobs. The number of new jobs is estimated based on man/hours during the growing cycles for export and domestic crops, as well as on the labor required to shell peas.
Employment Generation. ARTEXCO estimates that handicraft activity by RVCP organizations in FY2017 will generate 40 new jobs based on calculations that artisans currently invest only 3.5 hours a day for handicraft production. To that end, ARTEXCO will work with organizations to increase the number of jobs when filling orders to meet market demands.
