  „Equal Exchange chose this region as the source for its organic teas in part because of its reputation, but also because of the exemplary work of Tea Promoters of India (TPI), a local, family-owned company that manages four tea gardens, all of which are certified organic and are run according to fair trade standards. TPI is a pioneer in bringing environmental and social reforms to the tea industry. For example, they have been helping a local cooperative of small farmers, Samjukta Vikas, to raise their incomes through organic tea production. We are proud to work with both this co-op and TPI and look forward to increasing our purchases from this co-op as their production increases.“

  „And yet, even the generation reared on "one black coffee" still realizes that there is no greater pleasure than the perfectly made first cup of coffee. Everyone talks about getting up on the right side of the bed as the perfect start to the day, but to me, it has been and will always be the perfectly brewed cup of coffee, which sets the tone for the day.“

  „Likewise primary producers also need to look at forward integration into processing of value added coffees at origins through joint ventures/partnerships; more so in countries like India that have a potential domestic market also. New types of producer-buyer relationships such as contract farming also need to be given impetus along with development and promotion of "fair trade" coffees. With the coffee industry the world over undergoing a "secular" change, producers need to be innovative, goal oriented and forward looking. The traditional mind set of the coffee grower has to change and in this new environment, it is producers with entrepreneurial vision and managerial capacity who will survive and succeed.“

Before devising any strategy for growing domestic coffee consumption, the Coffee Board commissioned a comprehensive, nationally representative study on beverage habits, practices and attitudes.“
