Fair Trade Coffee Klatching (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

  „The world price is currently 60 cents (US) per pound, whereas the minimum price for Fair Trade coffee is 126 cents (US). In practice this means that Fair Trade coffees cannot be priced as low as a typical supermarket blend sold by a multinational. Some of the Fair Trade coffees are currently priced in the $5.00 per pound retail price range, which is fairly accessible. When coffee is sold by the cup, the difference in price between Fair Trade and conventional evaporates to a mere four or five cents per cup.“

  „On the economic side, the vulnerability of small coffee producers to multinational market manipulation relative to accessing conventional food production and distribution systems has made coffee a natural commodity for experimentation in the creation of sustainable alternative food trading systems. Fair Trade is one such alternative system, and, to date, perhaps the most successful.“

  „RESPONSE: Fair Trade certification deals indirectly with environmental issues by involving the cooperatives in a dialogue on integrated development and sustainability. More specifically, cooperatives often have developmental goals that encompass issues of economic, social and environmental sustainability. Cooperatives are encouraged and supported to adopt measures to improve quality, and to apply production and processing techniques which respect the specific ecosystems and contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources in order to avoid as much as possible, or even totally, the use of chemical inputs.“
