„Some of them we have worked with for years and know well. For example, we first collaborated with Oxfam America in 1992 during our shared efforts to assist coffee farmers in the wake of the Salvadoran civil war. Other groups we have come to know and trust through our Interfaith Program, such as Lutheran World Relief, and the United Methodist Committee on Relief.“

„LONG BEACH, CA - The Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) supports the efforts of Oxfam International to raise awareness of the social, environmental, and economic impacts of the current crisis on coffee farmers world-wide. The long-term viability of the specialty coffee industry is dependent upon the sustainability of those who produce high-quality coffee. For this reason, it is in the best interest of specialty coffee roasters and retailers to build long-term relationships that provide fair prices to coffee producers.“

Global Exchange : US Plans to Rejoin International Coffee Organization
„The US government's involvement with the ICO could help strengthen international efforts to alleviate that problem, said Seth Petchers, Coffee Program Coordinator for Oxfam America. As the largest coffee importing nation in the world, representing about a quarter of the world's consumption, the US can push for quality improvement programs, direct market access, and diversification initiatives, which could help increase the price that family farmers receive. "Coffee plays a crucial role in the economic health of communities in poor countries all over the world," Petchers said. "If the US steps of up to the plate, they might be able to put serious money into development programs that would increase the share of the price of coffee farmers receive." Robert Nelson, president and CEO of the National Coffee Association, said the US had made a "historic decision." "I believe the main goal of representatives from US government when they go to the ICO will be to promote, policies and practices that ultimately create an environment where farmers can affectively compete in the global marketplace," Nelson said.“
