„The concept behind Transfair U.S. is to make it easy for consumers to identify fair trade products by marking the product with the Transfair logo. "In the following months we will need to have coffee roasters across the nation sign up with Transfair U.S., and consumers and consumer groups who support fair trade to show this support." The tentative plan is to include a national letter-writing campaign and public visits from small farmers from various countries.“

Transfair USA | Press Releases
„The Fair Trade minimum price for organic coffee is $1.41 per pound, resulting in more income and improved health care, education and housing for coffee farming families. Additionally, the Fair Trade label means that farmers are given direct access to U.S. markets, which eliminates many intermediaries; that farmers are provided credit and signed contracts so they can plan for the long-term; and that the coffee was grown using eco-friendly techniques.Despite a strong commitment to the Fair Trade philosophy, the double-certified Green Mountain Coffees that will be offered at Wild Oats will be priced consistently with current coffee offerings in the stores. In addition, a number of Green Mountain's Fair Trade coffees have been highly rated by independent third-party specialty coffee tasters. Therefore, consumers will be receiving the value-added benefits associated with organic and Fair Trade coffee, including exceptional quality, at the same price they are paying for a pound or cup of coffee in Wild Oats stores today.“
