„Fairtrade supporters around the country are working together to make their community a Fairtrade City, Town or Zone. Activists in Chester and Salisbury will soon reach all five goals in the Fairtrade Town Goals and Action Pack. Attributing their success to linking with the community, Lisa Mather from the Cheshire Development Education Centre found that by bringing retailers, businesses, churches and schools on board it, "added momentum, vastly increased public awareness of Fairtrade and provided a variety of opportunities for people in Chester to act on Fairtrade." They are now firmly backed by the Lord Mayor, and city and county councillors.“

„Since its launch at the House of Commons, Fairtrade Tiki Caffé has been added to the menu in some of Britain's leading universities, from Glasgow to Brighton, and forms a growing percentage of roaster Matthew Algie's sales. In Reading, the International Solidarity Centre attracted good publicity when it invited local people to name its new organic Fairtrade café. Over twenty councils, from Charnwood to Liverpool, are currently developing Fairtrade policies, for whom Oxfam has produced an invaluable Fairtrade Guide for Local Authorities, to be launched in Fairtrade Fortnight.“

Indiacoffee - Indian Coffee, monthly magazine - Inauguration (#)

„Likewise primary producers also need to look at forward integration into processing of value added coffees at origins through joint ventures/partnerships; more so in countries like India that have a potential domestic market also. New types of producer-buyer relationships such as contract farming also need to be given impetus along with development and promotion of "fair trade" coffees. With the coffee industry the world over undergoing a "secular" change, producers need to be innovative, goal oriented and forward looking. The traditional mind set of the coffee grower has to change and in this new environment, it is producers with entrepreneurial vision and managerial capacity who will survive and succeed.“

„While international organizations and trade associations deal with larger policy issues moving local governments and NGOs forward, some concrete solutions are being offered by non-profit organizations working with coffee companies, particularly within the specialty sector. New market alternatives such as Fair Trade, development projects through Coffee Kids or other non-profit development organizations, and codes of conduct implemented for coffee suppliers, are three concrete opportunities for making an impact immediately on farming communities and child workers.“

Some special programs within the coffee industry, however, have begun to make an impact: development projects, Fair Trade and other direct trade relationships, independent monitoring and verification of labor issues, and company codes of conduct are slowly taking shape and gaining industry and consumer acceptance.“

„If you've got evidence that this mark hides malpractise, then I'd be very interested to hear it because at the moment I've got no reason to doubt their claims. However, I don't know, for example, exactly what'fair trade' means in the US or who is behind it.“
