  „Fair-trade coffees refer to the economic system under which coffee is purchased. Roasters must purchase fair-trade coffees from farmer cooperatives, and they must follow established minimum prices. (Conventional coffee, in contrast, is subject to the whims of the New York Coffee Exchange "C" price.)“

  „Cooperative Coffees is currently comprised of 17 small-scale, fair-trade roasters who are building their businesses upon the ideals of alternative trade. We came together to form a legally structured buying cooperative, because the volumes we need as small-scale roasters, would have made it impossible to import directly (one of the main tenants of fair trade) from a variety of coffee farmer cooperatives. Collectively as Cooperative Coffees, we have established commercial relationships with thirteen coffee cooperatives based in democratic and participatory development models in ten different producer countries.“
