  „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.“

  „With this initiative, we are giving our customers the opportunity to positively impact the Fair Trade issue by purchasing this high quality coffee." "Fair Trade Certified coffee gives us all an easy way to help family farmers and the environment with something as simple as a daily cup of coffee," says Paul Rice, TransFair's Executive Director. "By choosing Fair Trade Certified coffee, certified coffee companies and consumers are establishing a meaningful partnership with coffee farmers and their families-a partnership that empowers the growers both socially and economically, so they can substantially improve the quality of their own lives." We are very enthusiastic that Peet's is launching a Fair Trade Blend. Their excellent reputation in the gourmet industry and their loyal customer base will greatly contribute to raising public awareness about the importance of supporting Fair Trade." Why is Fair Trade needed? Fair Trade supports coffee farmers by guaranteeing a decent, living wage for their harvest and encouraging organic cultivation methods that are safer for communities.“
