Tea & Coffee 11/01 - The Fair Trade Ideal: The Ultimate Answer For Sustainability? (Cont)
„Roasters are having trouble understanding some of Transfair USA's interests. An importer buying Fair Trade coffee, under license with Transfair USA may not sell it to a roaster as Fair Trade coffee unless the roaster too has signed a Fair Trade agreement with Transfair USA.“

Tea & Coffee 04/04 - Green Mountain Coffee Roasters: Doing Well by Doing Good
„Following the 1999 launch of TransFair USA, Green Mountain committed in May 2000 to make at least 3% of its sales Fair Trade. It was a natural outgrowth of the company’s Stewardship Coffee program, which supported estates and cooperatives that treated workers extremely well, providing for education, health, and housing. It happened that the company’s three organic coffees from Peru, Sumatra, and Mexico were already certified as Fair Trade, so the company decided that henceforth all of its organic coffees would be double certified as Fair Trade and organic.“

„By supporting Fair Trade Certified coffee, Seattle consumers, roasters, and retailers are ensuring that small family farmers are able to feed their families, keep their children in school, build community health clinics, and safeguard the environment for future generations." While world leaders remained deadlocked over socially responsible trade practices at recent meetings in Quebec, Seattle consumers and coffee companies have been forging ahead with support for Fair Trade Certified, organic, and shade-grown coffee. Seattle-based industry giants like Starbucks, Tully's, and the Seattle Coffee Company now offer Fair Trade Certified coffee brands as one way to support the family farmers they depend on for the highest quality coffee -- and to keep their discerning consumers satisfied. In a city famed for its specialty coffee and its socially conscious consumers, public support in Seattle has been critical to the success of Fair Trade and other sustainable coffees. Fair Trade is an innovative approach to empowering Third World farmers through direct trade, fair prices, access to credit, and sustainable farming methods.“
