„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.“

„Little did he know he would be constructing homes for coffee farmers. "We were digging a foundation for a farmer on the side of a hill when we accidentally covered a coffee plant with fill dirt," Harris recalls. "The farmer got so upset that when we covered the second plant, he stopped the work, and for an hour and a half, he explained how important these coffee plants were. He allowed us to continue working once we promised that we would not cover any more of his coffee plants." Struck by how much the plants meant to the farmer, it dawned on Harris that the trip, ostensibly about building houses, was turning out to be about coffee.“
