They are keen to point out that small scale farmers in poorer regions of the world are forced to sell their produce to middle men for less than it is worth because they cannot afford to transport it or sell it to big companies directly. The Fairtrade initiative hopes to send the money directly to the farmers and put an end to the unfair treatment.“

  „It challenges the conventional model of international trade, offering a progressive alternative for a sustainable future.In the global free market, producers are too often exploited by those companies controlling world markets. Receiving a fairer price means they can have some of the many things consumers in the developed world take for granted, such as education for their children, an unpolluted environment, decent working conditions, a stable income and affordable health care, raising the standard of living for all the community.What's different about working with Equal Exchange is that we send our coffee directly to them without intermediaries. The extra money our cooperatives receive makes a difference in medicines and nurseries to care for our children. - Mateo Rendon of FESACORA1UCIRI (the Union of Indigenous Communities of the Isthmus Region), located in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, was the first group of farmers in Mexico to export coffee through the fair trade model.“

  „The two guys who run the place are very friendly and real characters. They give you a free glass of wine if you have to wait to be seated (they later also slipped us a free carafe of wine because one of our courses was slightly delayed). They speak English well and go out of their way to make everyone welcome. The prices are pretty reasonable for Venice, but the food tastes great.“
