'It's something that has benefited the village of Jaris directly, and also the whole region.' In the past, farmers burnt petrol-soaked tyres in the furnaces that boil the cane syrup. They also cut down trees for fuel. Now there has been a lot of reforestation in the valley, and farmers have invested in improved organic furnaces that can burn the waste stalks of the cane.“

  „Coffee producers desperately need more companies to respond to consumer demand for Fairtrade. Successive years of low prices on the world coffee market mean that growers and their families in countries like Nicaragua and Tanzania are not able to cover their costs of production and afford the basic necessities of life. It is clearly imperative that the major coffee companies engage with Fairtrade to address the increasing poverty and hardship that is the direct result of low world coffee prices, as proposed by organisations like Oxfam (Mugged: Poverty in Your Coffee Cup, 2002).“

  „The Fairtrade Foundation and the Fairtrade MarkThe Fairtrade Foundation created the term Fairtrade to describe the goods marketed to provide support and assistance to communities ravaged by fluctuations in the global market place. It was founded by CAFOD (Catholic Foundation for Oversea Development), Christian Aid, New Consumer, Oxfam, Traidcraft and the World Development Movement, who were joined later by the Women's Institute. The foundation grants a consumer label, the Fairtrade Mark - two black interlocking F's on a white background - to products which meet internationally recognised standards of fair trade. For a more in-depth analysis of the criteria go to Fairtrade International.“
