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.“

„CANTON, MA—March 7, 2002—Equal Exchange, the nation’s leader in fairly traded gourmet coffee, announced today record payments of $960,000 in above-market fair trade premiums to small farmer cooperatives in 2001. With coffee growing communities in many developing nations continuing to struggle with record low market prices and deepening poverty, a growing number of small farmers are benefiting from their trade partnership with Equal Exchange.“

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.“
