Transfair USA | Fair Trade Overview (#)
„Empowered by the economic stability provided by Fair Trade, members of the COSURCA coffee cooperative in Colombia successfully prevented the cultivation of more than 1,600 acres of coca and poppy, used for the production of illicit drugs. In Papua New Guinea, the AGOGA cooperative, is investing in a medical team to meet the healthcare needs of its isolated rural community. In the highlands of Guatemala, indigenous Tzutuhil Mayans in the La Voz cooperative are sending local kids to college for the first time.“

„The Colombian Coffee Federation has done a commendable job in promoting the specialty coffees of Colombia. Although most of the Colombian coffee you find in the stores is overrated, excellent examples are available. Freshly roasted Colombian coffee is rich in flavor, heavy bodied, has a bright acidity, and is intensely aromatic. Colombia produces about 12% of the coffee in the world, second only to Brazil (Note: This year coffee production in Vietnam is expected to surpass that of Colombia. Unfortunately, Vietnam produces almost 100% Robusta).“
