„Bill Harris, president of Cooperative Coffees, says, “The current supply of fairly traded green beans is estimated to be at least five times larger than the current demand. Conventional coffee roasters and importers will not buy this excess supply unless conscious consumers get involved and help make fair trade standards the standard for the coffee industry. Most coffee companies will only commit to fair trade when their customers demand it.”“

Fairtrade | About Fairtrade | Frequently asked questions (#)

„Consumers can trust these organisations, because challenging poverty is their main purpose (see more about our partnership with Oxfam and Traidcraft ). However, some other companies make their own ‘fair trade’ claims without having the independent scrutiny of the FAIRTRADE Mark, or the interests of producers at heart. If you are shopping and see tea, coffee, bananas or cocoa products without the Mark, there is no guarantee that they give producers a fair deal.“

TransFair Canada: National Fair Trade Week Launch (#)

„Fair Trade is a trading partnership which aims at better trading and working conditions for millions of farmers and artisans from the developing world. By implementing more direct, long-term relationships with the farmers and artisans who produce many of the goods we consume, fair trade guarantees producers make a decent living wage from their traditional livelihoods. Consumers in industrialized countries can contribute to this effort by requesting fairly traded products and purchasing them.“

„The organisers, led by Oxfam and Wiltshire Agenda 21, got no fewer than 19 supermarkets to take part. Branches of Budgens, Safeway, Sainsbury, Tesco and Waitrose were persuaded to put up the Fairtrade Foundation's new posters and leaflets, and make contributions to competitions. The local media covered events and BBC Wiltshire Sound even managed to include a live link-up with a producer in Nicaragua during a discussion on its Breakfast Show.“

BBC - Jersey - Living Here (#)

„The Jersey Christian Aid group are the main organisation behind the scheme to make Jersey a Fairtrade Island. They are keen to point out that small scale farmers in poorer regions of the world are forced to sell their produce to middle men for less than it is worth because they cannot afford to transport it or sell it to big companies directly. The Fairtrade initiative hopes to send the money directly to the farmers and put an end to the unfair treatment.“
