Café de Colombia - 70 Years of Fair and Ethical Trading (#)
„One important and direct result of the Federation's work is that Colombian Coffee, today sells at a significant price premium on the international coffee market, providing a higher standard of living for the cafeteros. The Colombian Coffee Federation represents commercially successful fair-trading, proven over 70 years. The Price Guarantee: A buffer against a volatile and unpredictable international coffee market The farmers are guaranteed an adequate, stable income. Extra revenue generated when international prices are higher is held in reserve in order to maintain a minimum price when the international price drops.“

Café de Colombia - OUR CAMPAIGN
„Around the world, Federation offices work with appropriate trade and media channels within each country to promote the consumption of Colombian Coffee. To promote Colombian Coffee consumption it was first necessary to let consumers know why Colombian Coffee is a better product, hence to teach them the amount of care and labor that goes into growing and harvesting Colombian Coffee as well as the ideal climatic conditions that are hard to find in other countries. The initial educational campaign consisted on television commercials that would show Juan Valdez, Colombian Coffee's longtime spokesperson, in the coffee fields hand-picking the beans at the moment of prime ripeness. This helped consumers understand that Colombian beans are grown and picked by dedicated men, with little or no help from machines in excellent climatic conditions with plenty of rain, sun, and volcanic soil.“

„Cafe´ de Colombia - QUALITY Another aspect of Colombian Coffee that makes it so unique is the country's high quality control standards. It starts in the farm where the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia sends an appointed official to inspect each farm for sanitary conditions, healthy trees and the quality of each harvest. The inspector checks to see if the beans have been washed properly. He looks for adequate bean size, color texture and overall quality.“
