„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.“

„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.“

„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.“

„But at the end of 2003, coffee exporters in Ethiopia were getting just 37 cents per pound, and exporters in Tanzania a mere 27 cents! The farmers who grew the coffee, meanwhile, were only getting a fraction of those amounts. That means that when we pay $1.50 for a cup of conventionally traded coffee from Ethiopia or Tanzania the farmer who grew it gets less than 1˘!“
