„It says multinational coffee companies are making large profits by charging consumers in rich countries 1,500 percent more than farmers in poor countries are paid for their beans. Coffee prices on the world market average US$1.10 a kilogram, while production cost is around $1.76. "The worst may be over for embattled coffee growers like us, with prices finally rising off record lows," said Nguyen Trong, owner of nearly 20 hectares [49 acres] of coffee plantation in Daklak province in the country's central highlands. "The surging prices are due to the increase of coffee prices in the world market and the decrease of the country's coffee output," said the chairman of the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association, Doan Trieu Nhan.“

„The company buys organic coffee for about $1.40 a pound directly from farmers' coops in Mexico, Guatemala, and Ethiopia. Then Peace Coffee turns around and sells it to American consumers at high-end markets and natural food stores in resealable bags that feature the company's logo -- a mandala-like turtle shell based on the mythological symbol for the union between the earth and spirit worlds. The prices the company pays farmers are set according to international Fair Trade standards, which guarantee the farmers a minimum rate of at least $1.26 per pound (www.fairtradeffederation). That's nearly three times as much money as they would ordinarily get from exploitative middlemen known as coyotes, whom many were previously forced to rely upon to get their crops to the big companies that ultimately market coffee to American consumers.“
