  „The most important change that I’ve seen and continue to watch is the involvement by the bigger commercial interests in sustainable coffee sourcing. Everyone closely watched P&G and Millstone to see if they were just “greenwashing” but I think that their commitment is pretty solid, all things considered. The announcement that both Wal-Mart and Target were sourcing Fair Trade came as a surprise but was welcome news. I think they have looked not only at Starbucks but also at Dunkin’ Donuts and have decided that there is enough resonance with “sustainability” issues in their customer bases that it’s a good move.“

  „As its abilities developed, its mandate expanded to include all food products and its capacities now include expanded technical and research services. By 1998 it was conducting 20 trade missions, participating in 51 trade fairs, and operating in 24 markets. Although initially designed to work with individual SMEs, the organization has shifted to include associations and producer groups and is encouraging small producers to first participate in domestic trade as a way of building capacity.Unfortunately, cost recovery has been more symbolic than meaningful -- at approximately three percent of total operating costs -- and it continues to be dependent on external funding although it is seeking to expand its funding through a government tax on exports. Nevertheless, it has leveraged benefits through participation in some creative promotions such as that with PROCAR, the Argentine meat marketing association, which joined forces with PROMEX in order to jointly promote overseas trade.“
