„Nevertheless, the Fair-Trade movement has created intense controversy and opposition inside the specialty coffee industry, including opposition from some professionals with a long and honorable record of active commitment to progressive and humanitarian causes. Furthermore, the Fair-Trade concept has provoked considerable confusion among coffee enthusiasts, who are regaled by five or six kinds of certification seals, are baffled by what they all mean, and are unclear about how they relate to the actual experience of the coffee in the cup.“

The Coffees of Ecuador: Specialty, Organic, Fair-Trade
„Map of Ecuador Coffee has a long history in Ecuador: it was introduced in the early 19th century and became its main export in the early 20th century. But coffee from Ecuador has never been included in the list of Specialty Coffee origins, mostly because of poor harvesting and processing practices. As other Ecuadorian exports (banana, oil, shrimp) exceeded coffee in export importance, hope that the quality of the coffee would improved became less. They managed to continue to ship low grade arabica and robusta coffees, finding a market among the istitutional and commecial roasters of the U.S. and Europe who are more concerned with price than cup quality.“
