Fall Educational Conference6 - National Coffee Association (#)

  „Economic, social and environmental sustainability is a hot topic, and for some, a profitable niche. This session brings us up to date on organic, fair trade, eco-friendly, Utz Kapeh and other initiatives.  We'll discover what is happening in the markets for these coffees and what are the opportunities/pitfalls?  We will briefly review the newest information from around the world and look at the key current issues from the producers' side: Can producers make the necessary adjustments?“

Utz Kapeh Information

  „"It's positive that something is happening, but if you set up guidelines and you don't pay a price so that farmers can meet them, that is the weak point," said Rita Openhuyzen, spokeswoman for the Dutch Max Havelaar foundation, a pioneer in developing the Fair Trade concept.“

  „Sustainability is the only way to sustain high quality. Now Fair Trade is NOT the only answer but the thought that because it is certified or fairly traded or shade grown that it is crappy coffee is ludicrous and wrong. it used to be that way but not any more.“

Tea & Coffee 11/01 - The Fair Trade Ideal: The Ultimate Answer For Sustainability? (Cont)

  „Some prominent SCAA members raised the Fair Trade issue a year ago asking their association to respond, on their behalf, to the Fair Trade challenge during a time of pain and confusion for so many of its members? SCAA responded to the need for trade association intervention on behalf of its members. In the light of SCAA's action TransFair has changed its approach to SCAA members, has become an active member of the association, and appears to be making efforts at becoming a helpful and cooperating member of the community. In some quarters there is unease that TransFair and SCAA have become so chummy.“
