UCC Coffee Project (#)
„Most small coffee farmers live in isolated communities in some of the poorest countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia. They usually sell their coffee through middlemen, known to Central American farmers as "coyotes." With world prices in constant flux and coyotes offering the lowest price possible, farmers never know how much they'll get for their crops.“

„Yet the small farmers who grow our coffee often struggle just to make a simple living. Most live in rural communities in some of the poorest countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Isolated from markets, they are forced to accept low prices.“

Fair-trade cooperatives: a positive alternative - Fair Trade Coffee Project - Lutheran World Relief
„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.“
