  „"With a global coffee crisis upon us and coffee prices at 100-year lows, we believe that, as a food company, it is our responsibility to do our part to make a difference in coffee producing communities," said Perry Odak, President and CEO of Wild Oats Markets, Inc. "By helping to educate consumers about the extremely serious issues facing coffee growers, and by making a commitment to selling only organic Fair Trade coffee in our bulk and foodservice departments, we are not only bolstering the socioeconomic stature of these farmers, but we are helping to preserve the environment by supporting sustainable organic agricultural practices. We hope other companies will take our lead to create more demand for coffees that not only taste great, but are procured at a fair price."When consumers see the Fair Trade Certified label, it provides assurance that the farmers received a fair minimum floor price for their harvest that covers the cost of sustainable production. The Fair Trade minimum price for organic coffee is $1.41 per pound, resulting in more income and improved health care, education and housing for coffee farming families.“

  „An economy in which millions have no hand in their financial future is precisely the one that many fear. In the case of the coffee industry, it was free trade that flooded the market with cheaper, lower-quality coffee, mostly from Vietnam, and closed thousands of farms in Latin America. Despite new efforts to respond to the crisis, today only 5 percent to 10 percent of the product is sold at "fair trade" prices, according to Equal Exchange.“
