Transfair USA | The Issues (#)
„But consumers worldwide are now voting with their dollars to put an end to this practice by switching to Fair Trade Certified brands which guarantee fair compensation and adhere to the highest International Labour Organization (ILO) standards. Fair Trade keeps families together in a time of crisis Thousands of family farmers have been uprooted in the past year in Central America and Mexico, two regions hardest hit by the continued freefall in coffee prices. Many have been forced to sell their farms and leave their families to seek underpaid work in cities across the US and Central America. In this time of crisis, Fair Trade offers a living wage and a beacon of hope to farming families, allowing them to stay on their land and protect their families and communities.“

„"This is a tremendous opportunity to continue our growth and make our brand much more accessible to a broader market." The agreement will result in the largest distribution of Fair Trade Certified organically grown coffee products in North American grocery stores to date. Seattle's Best Coffee Fair Trade Certified Organic French Roast is harvested in the highlands of Southern Peru. The coffee is grown by a collection of small farms, which produce a rich, smooth, flavorful coffee. These farms produce coffee under canopies of various indigenous trees.“
