„150 cooperatives, export organizations and committed private enterprises in 40 countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Long-term business contracts under fair conditions, long-standing and trustful cooperation as well as transparency at any level of our commercial chains are typical of our trading relationships.

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Fair-Trade certification, for those who have not been paying attention, guarantees that farmers have been paid a formula-determined "fair" or economically sustainable price for their coffee, and that most of the Fair-Trade premium makes it back to the farmers who actually perform the work growing the coffee. From what I have observed, the national and international organizations that organize and monitor Fair-Trade certification make efficient and transparent use of the small part of the premium that supports their activities on behalf of the farmers.“
