CRS Fair Trade (#)
„But Fair Trade is the only set of standards that guarantees farmers will earn a fair price for their coffee—enough to cover their costs of production and provide a worthy standard of living for their families. The Fair Trade Certified logo is regulated by TransFair USA, an NGO that ensures all Fair Trade Certified products in the United States are traded in compliance with the principles articulated below. When you see the Fair Trade Certified logo on your coffee, you can be assured that the farmers who grew your coffee were paid fairly and treated with dignity.“

„Our mission: Provide customers with the best quality products at fair prices, bring farmers and consumers closer by educating consumers about coffee and tea and by educating farmers about consumers' needs, and pay farmers a fair price so they can provide for their families and communities and live with dignity.“

„Most sell 100 percent Fair Trade coffee; all have committed themselves to move toward 100 percent. When you purchase coffee from one of these organizations, you are not only ensuring that the farmers who grew it are receiving a fair price, you are supporting an alternative business model, and voting with your dollars for a value-based system of international trade. CRS endorses the Fair Traders proudly, and encourages Catholics in the United States to purchase coffee from these mission-driven organizations.“

„Fair Trade is designed to counter these trends by paying producers a fair price, ensuring that they work under conditions worthy of their human dignity, encouraging ecologically sustainable production techniques, and by connecting us directly with the producers overseas who create the items we consume here in the United States. But Fair Trade is still a miniscule part of the world trading system—the Fair Trade Federation estimates Fair Trade's global market share at one one-hundredth of one percent! Lasting solutions to economic injustice require changing the rules that govern international trade so that the system works for the world's poor.“

„This two-page document shows how Fair Trade puts more of your coffee dollars directly into the hands of small-scale farmers than the conventional system, in which middlemen, processors and coffee companies can earn more than the men and women who actually grow the coffee.“
