Fair Trade Coffee




The essence of fair trade coffee is that it is produced by farmers who are members of a democratically run cooperative.




The coffee is grown without the use of child labor.




The coffee is organically grown in that the use of pesticides and herbicides is limited.




And, importantly, the farmer receives both a minimum price for his crop and a premium for abiding by the criteria involved.




Strictly speaking Fair Trade coffee is certified by one of the Fair Trade related agencies.




However, there are other coffee certifications that assure one of a fair trade results without necessarily having a fair trade sticker on the bag of coffee.

Making a Living Growing Organic Coffee




About one percent of the seventy million tons of coffee produced each year is organic coffee.




The premium paid for organic versus regular coffee runs from ten to forty percent.




At issue for small organic coffee producers is the price of being certified by an agent of the United States Department of Agriculture.




It can cost a small coffee grower in the mountains of Panama $500 a year to get and retain certification.




If he is not getting a sufficient premium for his organic coffee the extra effort and the cost are not worth it.




One route that many small growers take is to affiliate with UTZ or Rainforest Alliance.




Both of these agencies teach and require an organic approach to coffee farming, avoidance of child labor and sustainable agricultural practices.




They also help the small coffee grower find buyers.
