  „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.“

  „He also points out the tremendous environmental benefits that result from selling to the organic Fairtrade market. 'It's something that has benefited the village of Jaris directly, and also the whole region.' In the past, farmers burnt petrol-soaked tyres in the furnaces that boil the cane syrup. They also cut down trees for fuel. Now there has been a lot of reforestation in the valley, and farmers have invested in improved organic furnaces that can burn the waste stalks of the cane.“
