A Short History of Fairtrade Coffee
Coffee growers work extremely hard under difficult conditions every day and consitute one of the poorest groups in the world. They are the first link in the long chain of coffee trading which is the second largest world market after oil. Fair Trade commerce is a way for cooperatives of small coffee growers to face a difficult global market. Fair Trade organizations across the world buy directly from these cooperatives and develop long term relationships with them paying a fair price for coffee and improving the living conditions of growers. For consumers, the price of Fair Trade coffee is similar to gourmet coffees.
In Canada, a lot of progress has been made promoting Fair Trade coffees in the last 10 years but there's still a lot of work to be done.
Our personal choices as consumers have a real impact and contribute to making a difference!
