„This movement isn’t about positioning your PR campaign, it’s about farmers and families and their ability to put food on the table.

„In 1986 Equal Exchange introduced fair trade to the U.S. coffee industry as a way to create better living conditions and more opportunities for struggling coffee farmers in poor countries. After years of slowly building the fair trade market Equal Exchange has recently been joined by over 100 companies who now offer at least one fair trade certified coffee. The company hopes to duplicate this success within the cocoa trade.“

„Dickinson added "We fear that the P&G decision will disappoint as many struggling farmers and concerned consumers as Starbuck's Fair Trade announcement several years ago. Neither company seems willing to honestly address the fundamental inequities inherent in the world coffee trade. If the likes of P&G and Starbucks, with their massive resources, can't commit to Fair Trade for even 1% of their coffee, their announcements appear more marketing driven than substance."“

„The price for green coffee beans, the worlds most widely traded commodity after oil, has hit its lowest level in 100 years. For small farmers, who grow over half of the world’s crop, the situation has gone from difficult to catastrophic. A two-year slump in prices – from $1.45 in December 1999 to 45 cents today – has created an ongoing economic disaster in dozens of developing countries.“
