  „Recently, thanks in part to the encouragement of TransFair USA*, the independent non-profit that monitors and certifies fair trade coffee, various small and large companies have agreed to follow Equal Exchange’s example and adhere to these rules for at least a portion of their product line. This marks a major shift towards reform in the $3 billion US specialty coffee industry, which could become a model for other sectors, such as textiles and sneakers, that are still looking for viable solutions to sweatshop conditions. This new period in the industry is being celebrated this Sunday, from noon to 3 p.m.“

  „But, the show went on, and I went about the floor. I stopped by the Fair Trade pavilion once again, and this time I met Kenya Lewis, the PR Manager for TransFair USA (website ) and we briefly discussed Fair Trade coffee and its impact on farmers' lives. Now, I'm one who believes the Fair Trade Certification process is far from perfect, but it's the best the industry has, and I'm sure the folks involved in it want it to be as good as possible, because the real mission is simple - give farmers a living wage for the product we enjoy so much. Kenya is a wonderful person, and I could tell from our brief conversation she's a concerned activist for this cause.“

  „This high quality organic certified dutch process cocoa powder carries the Fair Trade Certified label, granted by TransFair USA, independent non-profit certifying organization, which guarantees consumers that the cocoa was produced and sourced in a socially responsible manner.
