English translation:An Uneasy Week in the Coffee Sector
Explanation:
Intranquila is not necessarily rough, it is more likely just a time of ups and downs or a lot of breath-holding. Since this seems to be a market reference, I think sector is a little more precise than the more generalized 'area'.

You could also say Coffee Belt or Coffee Zone, if you don\'t want two meanings for the price of one. But Coffee Area also carries both meanings.

disagree  Marsha Wilkie: The'eje cafetero' is only one of Colombia coffee areas. It refers to the longitudinal area that lies between the western and central mountain ranges from the Department of Caldas in the north to the north of the Department of Valle del Cauca in the South.

Uneasy Week in the Coffee Axis


Explanation:
The coffee axis is not the coffee area.
Neither is it the coffee sector. It is only one of our coffee areas.
