  „For coffee sold with the FAIRTRADE Mark, coffee growers get a fair price, currently double the global market price for arabica beans and triple for robusta beans. Under conventional agreements, they get just over half what it actually costs to grow the beans, meaning that they are effectively subsidising our coffee drinking.“

  „Now small amounts (less than 10%) are rules of thumb, and its got to be good quality robusta (there is some out there. In fact I've tasted robustas better than some arabica beans I've been sent). Don't be a snob, it adds a little caffeine kick to a blend, and it gives you great crema and balances out the cup. I have blends without robusta in them that are great, but none are better than those blends which do contain Robusta.“

  „In respect to green bean production, I can only foresee misery and heartache for those growers producing Robusta, and for those producing Arabica for the multinationals. I would like more scope to explain - I tend to agree with Oxfam’s argument, but not their solution to the problem.” - George Sabados, president Austral Asian Specialty Coffee Association, Australia“
