Coffee & Fair Trade (#)
„Coffee is big business — it’s one of the most heavily traded commodities in the world. But for the majority of small coffee farmers, who live in rural communities in some of the poorest countries in the world, the benefits are small. The chain of events that leads from the farm to your cup is long and expensive: Processors, creditors, exporters, brokers, and a cast of middlemen — known to Latin American farmers as “coyotes” — can all come between you and the farmers before you get to sip your morning brew. With world coffee prices constantly changing and “coyotes’ paying the lowest price possible, coffee farmers never know how much they’ll get for their crops.“

„Fair Traded Coffee. Coffee that has been purchased from farmers (usually peasant farmers) at a "fair" price as defined by international agencies. The extra paid these farmers under fair trade arrangements is extremely modest, by the way. “

„This keeps the good small farmer from being squeezed out by the large plantations, and allows small farmers to provide for their families. Look for the Fair Trade Certification on coffees in your local shop, or visit Fair Trade USA at www.fairtradeusa.org to learn more about their organization.“
