Have you ever noticed the Fair Trade® label on your coffee and wondered how this coffee was different than other coffees? When you are buying Fair Trade® coffee (and other Fair Trade® products), you are ensuring a better quality of life for the coffee farmers and those directly involved in the coffee production. Buying Fair Trade means:

·          Fair price: Democratically organized farmer groups receive a guaranteed minimum floor price and an additional premium for certified organic products.

·          Fair labor conditions: Workers on Fair Trade farms enjoy freedom of association, safe working conditions, and living wages.

·          Direct trade: With Fair Trade, importers purchase from Fair Trade producer groups as directly as possible, eliminating unnecessary middlemen and empowering farmers.

·          Community development: Fair Trade farmers and farm workers invest Fair Trade premiums in social and business development projects like scholarship programs, quality improvement trainings, and organic certification.

Environmental sustainability: Harmful agrochemicals and GMOs are strictly prohibited in favor of environmentally sustainable farming methods that protect farmers’ health and preserve valuable ecosystems for future generations.
