Amazon.com: Books: Indulgence: Around the World in Search of Chocolate (#)

„What I found extraordinary about this comprehensive book that covers every aspect of the history, cultivation, production, marketing and the social and political issues surrounding chocolate is that, despite mentioning issues concerning fair trade, the author never mentions the Fairtrade Foundation, Divine chocolate or Green & Black's. It's simply not possible that he was unaware of the significance of these brands and the importance of organic cultivation to saving cacao from the ravages of disease and the importance of fair trade to saving cacao growers from the ravages of an unfair trading system, yet he glosses over these issues completely. I'm sure that Lindt will send him some chocolate animals, but this omission seriously reduces the value of an otherwise excellent book.“

Global Exchange : What Price Virtue? At Some Retailers, 'Fair Trade' Carries A Very High Cost (#)

„Harriet Lamb, executive director of the Fairtrade Foundation in London, which licenses Sainsbury's, says of the chain's prices, "The concern of the Fairtrade Foundation is about the price paid back to the producer organizations." But Alistair Smith, international coordinator for Banana Link, a nonprofit British group that promotes the rights of banana workers and small farmers, called Sainsbury's fair-trade prices "unjustified," adding, "It would be all right if a much higher price was going to the producer."“

Under the fair trademarks TransFair, Max Havelaar and the UKs Fairtrade Foundation, 11,000 metric tonnes of green coffee beans were sold in over 35,000 supermarkets by commercial coffee companies in 1995. Current estimates put total world "fair trade" sales in the neighbourhood of US$300-500 million per year.“

CBBC Newsround | GLOBALISATION ECONOMIC | Could trade replace aid? (#)

„This is for the groups to decide for themselves. A possible example to get groups started: Fairtrade Foundation's terms of trading: A price that covers the cost of production. A 'social premium' some additional profit to be used by the producers to improve their living and working conditions. Some money paid in advance to avoid small producer organisations falling into debt (if they need to buy seeds or tools) Contracts that allow long term planning, because the producers know they will have a customer.“

„Obviously, the details will vary from place to place. I've got a lot of respect for the UK-based Fair Trade Foundation and, as a consumer, have found the quality of the products I have tried to be fine (certainly comparable to competing products in the same bracket). 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.“
