„United Natural Foods, the nation’s largest distributor of natural products to supermarkets and natural food stores, is now offering this cocoa powder - along with the organic Fair Trade hot cocoa mix Equal Exchange introduced last year - from 8 of their 9 regional warehouses. This critical link in the food distribution system means that for the first time thousands of retailers can easily offer their consumers Fair Trade Certified cocoa products.“

PR Distribution through United Natural Foods
„In an effort to demonstrate what is financially viable in the coffee industry Equal Exchange, a profitable and still growing 17 year old company, imports 100% of their coffee, tea and cocoa under Fair Trade terms, and in 2003 will import approximately 3,000,000 pounds of Fair Trade Certified coffee. The cooperative conservatively estimates that P&G's two major brands, Folgers and Millstone, together import over 500,000,000 pounds of green coffee every year. Others have estimated that P&G's annual Fair Trade volume may only reach 2 to 3 million pounds per year, but with no timeline given for even that amount.“

„In 1986 Equal Exchange introduced fair trade to the U.S. coffee industry as a way to create better living conditions and more opportunities for struggling coffee farmers in poor countries. After years of slowly building the fair trade market Equal Exchange has recently been joined by over 100 companies who now offer at least one fair trade certified coffee. The company hopes to duplicate this success within the cocoa trade.“
