„CANTON, MA - January 21st, 2004 - Equal Exchange, the nation's #1 brand of Fair Trade coffee, announced today their new partnership with Catholic Relief Services, called the CRS Coffee Project, an ambitious plan by the two organizations to boost consumption of Fair Trade coffee through education and direct marketing of the coffee to the 65 million Catholics in the United States.“

„Don Sabas (below), owns just over two acres of land, where he is growing coffee using organic farming methods. CRS and Cáritas Matagalpa are working with hundreds of small-scale coffee farmers like Sebastiana and Sabas in the mountainous north of Nicaragua, where historically low coffee prices have caused acute suffering in recent years. Some CRS-supported coffee farmers in this part of Nicaragua earned as little as 19 cents per pound after the last harvest-less than half what it cost them to produce their coffee. With support from CRS, the Cooperativa Las Nubes hopes to export its coffee to the Fair Trade market in the near future, where the guaranteed minimum price for organic coffee is $1.41 per pound-enough to cover the costs of coffee production, and to provide a dignified livelihood for Sebastiana, Sabas and their families.“

„For these companies, Fair Trade coffee is not a core commitment, but part of a marginal marketing approach designed to appeal to socially conscious consumers. CRS believes that the Niche Marketers can afford to make a deeper commitment to Fair Trade, and encourages them to climb the CRS Coffee Ladder—to change the way they buy and sell coffee and to reach 10 percent Fair Trade within 5 years.“

„At age 14, while working in my dad's retail store, I was already making a serious effort to convert 80-year-old ladies to freshly roasted Guatemala Maragogype. ("Ma'am, I can recommend a freshly roasted, very mild and mellow after-dinner, low-caffeine coffee that will make you sleep like a nightingale.")“

„But Fair Trade alone will not resolve the injustices built into the architecture of the global “free trade” economy. Catholics who are truly committed to economic and social justice must work over the long term to advocate for enduring change in the very structure of international trading system.“
