„To draw attention to this gap between what farmers need and what large coffee companies like P&G are offering, Equal Exchange has issued a public challenge to the multi-national corporation. If in 2004 P&G can at least match the small Massachusetts cooperative pound for pound in Fair Trade coffee sales, then Equal Exchange will donate $25,000 to one of their small farmer cooperative trading partners in Latin America.“

„Fair trade certification guarantees consumers that the coffee they purchase comes from democratically organized cooperatives of small farmers that were paid a just price for their crop. This arrangement stands in contrast to the situation of millions of other coffee farming families who have struggled during the last two years as world coffee prices have reached 100 year lows. Under fair trade farmer cooperatives are paid at least $1.26 per pound of coffee, and $1.41 for organic coffee.“

„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.“

„The price for green coffee beans, the worlds most widely traded commodity after oil, has hit its lowest level in 100 years. For small farmers, who grow over half of the world’s crop, the situation has gone from difficult to catastrophic. A two-year slump in prices – from $1.45 in December 1999 to 45 cents today – has created an ongoing economic disaster in dozens of developing countries.“

„This movement isn’t about positioning your PR campaign, it’s about farmers and families and their ability to put food on the table. It needs more coffee companies to boldly step forward and declare that they care about the people that grow coffee and want to pay a price that helps them earn a living wage.”“
