  „As Christians we can address a consumer dilemma by buying coffee that is fairly traded. United Methodist congregations that participate are helping small scale farmers in Latin America, Africa and Asia earn a fairer share of income, obtain access to credit and technical support, and gain a trading partner they can trust, a fair trade organization called Equal Exchange.“

  „Paul Rice, TransFair's Director, spent over ten years working with coffee cooperatives in Latin America and realized that building a Fair Trade market was more sustainable than other development projects. TransFair reasoned that it could appeal to "specialty" coffee consumers: buyers who pay top dollar for top-quality Arabica beans. Arabica coffee retails for about $10 a pound and comprises 15 to 25 percent of the total coffee market. TransFair's research showed that people who pay $10 a pound for coffee would not mind adding a dollar more to guarantee a fair trade price to small coffee farmers.“

  „The LWR Coffee Project reaches out to communities like Rojas' in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. When purchasing organizations agree to pay a fair price for the product--at least $1.26 per pound of coffee--farmers can not only earn more money for necessary items such as food but can also invest back into the community. Fair trade also encourages the development of longstanding business relationships, provides advance credit so farmers can buy seed and fertilizer, and promotes ecological farming methods. The coffee purchased for the LWR Coffee Project provides a true lifeline from Lutheran coffee buyers to the coffee farmers and their families.“
