  „Participants saw first hand the roots of the LWR Coffee Project, a program that educates Lutherans about the social justice issues around the coffee industry and encourages people to purchase coffee that has been fairly traded. Participants took part in discussions with local economists, historians, Lutheran church leaders, and LWR staff and partners. They also participated in the harvest and stay in the homes of coffee farmers for an up-close experience.“

Equal Exchange, the pioneer and U.S. market leader in fair trade coffee since 1986, partners with LWR to offer Fair Trade Certified coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. Recently, Equal Exchange launched a nationally distributed organic, Fair Trade Certified cocoa baking powder.“

  „Farmers are guaranteed a fair price, which includes a guaranteed minimum price of $1.26 per pound, $1.41 for organic coffee. For reference, the current world market price for arabica coffee is just 61 cents - well below the estimated cost of production for small-scale coffee farmers. Much of this is paid in advance as credit. In 2000 we paid more than $450,000 in above market premiums to small-scale farmers.“

  „Coffee is big business—it’s one of the most heavily traded commodities in the world. But for the majority of small-scale coffee farmers, the benefits are few.“

  „Fair trade is a new link to people with whom LWR works overseas. By buying directly, paying a fair price and providing advance credit, fair trade organizations help small farmers in the developing world build a sustainable future for themselves and their families.“
