International Coffee Organization (#)
„2. In the early 1990s earnings by coffee producing countries (exports f.o.b) were some US$10-12 billion and the value of retail sales of coffee, largely in industrialised countries, about US$30 billion. Now the value of retail sales exceeds US$70 billion but coffee producing countries only receive US$5.5 billion. Prices on world markets, which averaged around 120 US cents/lb in the 1980s, are now around 50 cents, the lowest in real terms for 100 years. The fall in prices over the last five years has been dramatic and is illustrated in the graph below. The drop in earnings is particularly severe for those countries such as Uganda where coffee provides a large portion (over half in this case) of export revenues.“

CoffeeKid - Falling out of the SCAA, and Green Coffee in Canada
„I found them because they just started advertising on CoffeeGeek (no, I'm not mentioning them here because of that - but it is true that I have not heard of this company before they signed up as an advertising partner). I think this is going to be my new source for Fair Trade green coffee - their single pound prices okay (not great), but the five pound prices are pretty good - average of about $7 a pound or less, in Canadian dollars. Compared to US sources of green Fair Trade coffee, it's downright cheap once you factor in shipping costs.“
