„The sale of fair-trade-certified coffee on college and university campuses has been uplifting for the coffee industry, providing a sure channel through which fair-trade coffee can be distributed. And students-society's moral fighters-may turn out to play an important role in eventually ending the coffee crisis. Not only do students support fair-trade coffee by drinking it, they are also forming organizations and educating themselves on the positive social effects of fair trade.“

Transfair USA | Cocoa Program

„By guaranteeing farmers a fair and sustainable price, Fair Trade allows cocoa farmers to invest in post-harvest techniques that bring out the individual flavors of the particular cocoa-growing region. Fair Trade cocoa beans aren't "faceless" cocoa beans bought on an international exchange, but beans that can be traced back to an individual cooperative and even individual farmers.“
