  „In the context of an unfair global trade system, UK consumers are making a positive difference to the lives of tens of thousands of farmers in developing countries by choosing to buy Fairtrade coffee for the home, in the workplace and in coffee shops. This consumer support is also sending a strong message to government and the coffee industry that coffee farmers should receive a sustainable price for their commodity.“
