„The sale of fair-trade-certified coffee on college and university campuses has been uplifting for the coffee industry, providing a sure channel through which fair-trade coffee can be distributed. And students-society's moral fighters-may turn out to play an important role in eventually ending the coffee crisis. Not only do students support fair-trade coffee by drinking it, they are also forming organizations and educating themselves on the positive social effects of fair trade.“

„Yet a general comparison of the prices in a broad food category, say, all chocolate bars, shows that the fair-trade items generally cost 7 to 12 percent more, according to Tradecraft, a pioneering British fair-trade importer. This extra cost involves a somewhat unfair comparison between a gourmet fair-trade food item and a nongourmet conventional food item, but it suggests that fair-trade items have yet to match in price what the majority of consumers are paying.“
