„In contrast the current world market price is 65 cents per pound, and has reached as low as 42 cents in the last year. International relief and development agencies have cited this collapse of coffee prices as the cause of widespread hunger, unemployment and the loss of farms in coffee growing regions worldwide. Equal Exchange, the pioneer and U.S. market leader in fair trade coffee since 1991, is a full service provider of specialty, organic, fair trade coffee, premium tea and instant hot cocoa to 2,000 supermarkets, natural food stores, restaurants, colleges and 1,500 places of worship across North America. One hundred percent of Equal Exchange's products are fairly traded, and the firm offers the world's widest selection of fairly traded coffee, along with four varieties of organic, fair trade tea, and the first cocoa mix to carry the Fair Trade Certified Label.“

„Unfortunately, the planting of full sun varieties usually requires the removal of shade trees, which has dramatically reduced habitat for birds and other wildlife. According to researchers from the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Program, studies in Colombia and Mexico found 94-97% fewer bird species in sun grown coffee than in shade grown coffee. With today's introduction of Cafe Verde™ and Cafe Verde™ Decaf, the National Wildlife Federation and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters are joining forces to call attention to both environmental issues and the economic crisis that millions of small-scale coffee farmers are facing. Coffee prices are at historically low levels, below most farmers' costs of production.“
