Organic News Winter/Spring 1999 (#)

„On a basic level, "fair trade" (not to be confused with free trade) focuses not on resale profit, but on the means of production, particularly the effects on the producer. Organizations like Cafés Campesino conduct regulated trade that ensures that producers benefit from their efforts and make a fair living. It's a growing sector of trade that can help turn positive the profound effects of one of the largest imported commodities in America.“

View topic - Fair Trade Only...Is it possible? - Coffee Forum (#)

„Once again this is only my opinion of the fair trade coffees that I've sampled, if anyone can point me in the direction of one that will change my mind, I'll admit I was wrong. Oh and one more point /question, if a farmer wins the cup of excelence award what would be the rough price per pound compared to a fair trade and free trade per pound? Oh and finaly (I promise this time) I dont know if this is the same world wide but certain fair trade logos come at a price from what I can remember its 500 euro to join then an annual renewal and then a % of the price per pound, just to use the logo“

Fair Trade vs Free Trade (#)

„Likewise, the founders of Cooperative Coffees carefully addressed our trade practices in our Articles of Incorporation and in our everyday operating policies. We are committed to fair trade, rather than free trade practices. Free trade can be summarized as the elimination of trade rules in favor of allowing the open, free market to determine who will succeed. Results?“

Amazon.com: Books: The Fair Trade Fraud (#)

„US trade officials make an art of penalizing foreign companies for behavior that US companies are subsidized to commit, and have attitudes toward imports that we pledge to go to war to prevent in other countries. All the rhetoric about "free" trade from politicians is swamped by protectionism in real life, with unfair and often ridiculous consequences. For example, politically motivated tariffs against imported steel, designed to save a few jobs in the American steel-production industry, have destroyed a far larger number of jobs in American steel-using industries.“

Global Exchange : News Updates (#)

„Fair Trade Benefits All Workers -- In recent years, it has become apparent that the new system of globalization and free trade has too often degenerated into one of crude exploitation of people and the environment in the developing world. Fair trade is based on a business model that puts workers and the environment first, not last. This is more than a politically correct marketing strategy.“
