  „Oxfam’s global coffee campaign, the second phase of their ‘Make Trade Fair’ campaign aiming to reform trade rules, is putting the spotlight on the coffee crisis. In response, Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi declared, ‘Unless there is a fairer global trading environment there can be no prospect for overcoming poverty in our countries.’ Join their web based global petition, ‘Big Noise,’ by visiting www.maketradefair.com or by calling 01865 312610.“

  „Consumers can trust these organisations, because challenging poverty is their main purpose (see more about our partnership with Oxfam and Traidcraft ). However, some other companies make their own ‘fair trade’ claims without having the independent scrutiny of the FAIRTRADE Mark, or the interests of producers at heart. If you are shopping and see tea, coffee, bananas or cocoa products without the Mark, there is no guarantee that they give producers a fair deal.“
