„"Fair Trade Certified" goods are more expensive than conventional items at mainstream grocery stores. But prices are generally within the range of costs for organic products. Fair trade bananas usually run from 49 cents to 99 cents per pound, compared with 19 to 49 cents for non-organic conventional ones.“

„With this initiative, we are giving our customers the opportunity to positively impact the Fair Trade issue by purchasing this high quality coffee." "Fair Trade Certified coffee gives us all an easy way to help family farmers and the environment with something as simple as a daily cup of coffee," says Paul Rice, TransFair's Executive Director. "By choosing Fair Trade Certified coffee, certified coffee companies and consumers are establishing a meaningful partnership with coffee farmers and their families-a partnership that empowers the growers both socially and economically, so they can substantially improve the quality of their own lives." We are very enthusiastic that Peet's is launching a Fair Trade Blend. Their excellent reputation in the gourmet industry and their loyal customer base will greatly contribute to raising public awareness about the importance of supporting Fair Trade." Why is Fair Trade needed? Fair Trade supports coffee farmers by guaranteeing a decent, living wage for their harvest and encouraging organic cultivation methods that are safer for communities.“

„In Europe, where Fair Trade Certified bananas have gained market share as high as 24 percent and are growing at a rate of over 50 percent per year, grocery retailers have found Fair Trade Certified bananas to be an answer to the "banana price wars" instigated by mass market retailers. Fair Trade certification is a powerful marketing tool that adds value to commodities, allowing retailers to choose the higher ground, both morally and financially.“
