„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.“

„The Fair Trade movement took root in Europe in the 1990's as a way of bolstering coffee farmers as prices were collapsing. When coffee bean prices hit a 30-year low in 2001, farmers could expect a price of 47 cents per pound for their product; in 1997, the price was $3.18. Coffee beans are the world's second-largest traded commodity (second only to oil), with millions of livelihoods dependent on its sale.“
