„The sale of fair-trade-certified coffee on college and university campuses has been uplifting for the coffee industry, providing a sure channel through which fair-trade coffee can be distributed. And students-society's moral fighters-may turn out to play an important role in eventually ending the coffee crisis. Not only do students support fair-trade coffee by drinking it, they are also forming organizations and educating themselves on the positive social effects of fair trade.“

"The customers will vote with their dollars, and they voted to buy more coffee," Odak said.“

„Yet a general comparison of the prices in a broad food category, say, all chocolate bars, shows that the fair-trade items generally cost 7 to 12 percent more, according to Tradecraft, a pioneering British fair-trade importer. This extra cost involves a somewhat unfair comparison between a gourmet fair-trade food item and a nongourmet conventional food item, but it suggests that fair-trade items have yet to match in price what the majority of consumers are paying.“
