Global Exchange : Purchasing Restriction (#)
„City and county governments have within their powers the chance to pass a Purchasing Restriction to ensure that local governments purchase only Fair Trade Certified coffee. This gives us a unique opportunity to use Fair Trade Certified coffee as a networking tool to build coalitions with others working on similar issues while we educate the wider community about Fair Trade Certified coffee. Global Exchange and TransFair USA can support you through this process with the necessary materials and strategy suggestions.“

„The rules board believe tracking roasted coffee is clear for certified green to roasted. Rules for small roasters ("roasted in region" roasters) will be developed so as not to put them at a competitive disadvantage. Small roasters sugges a well kept paper trail to be inspected annually by committee or some other type of self certified mechanism. “

„Patterson believes consumer support for 100% Fair Trade certified products in the U.S. could ultimately change life for small coffee farmers around the world. But even with their small but growing support today, Fair Trade policies have brought about advancements in healthcare, housing, and education, he notes. In the meantime, Peace Coffee is working on its mission at its own, organic pace.“
