The Economics of Fair Trade Coffee: For Whose Benefit?


The Economics of Fair Trade Coffee: For Whose Benefit?


$100.37


This book is intended for all readers interested in a critical assessment of fair trade. How much does fair trade contribute to development? Does consumer awareness make any difference at all? Or are supermarkets selling fair trade coffee just cleanwashing their reputation in the fair trade business? These are some of the key questions examined in this book. I start by providing a short description of the coffee market and some of its major trends. I then turn to the origin and structure of the fair trade movement. The pricing scheme of Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO) is compared to those of other private labeling initiatives. The last part examines benefits generated for participants on the supply and demand side. Revenues accruing to coffee producers in the South and fair trade organizations in the Western world are estimated. Finally, an original empirical strategy is proposed to see whether consumer awareness is making any difference and/or if supermarkets are cleanwashing their reputation in the fair trade business. Data from 13 European countries is used in two different econometric models (OLS and treatment regression model).

Fair Trade and Social Justice


Fair Trade and Social Justice


$75


By 2008, total Fair Trade purchases in the developed world reached nearly $3 billion, a five-fold increase in four years. Consumers pay a “fair price” for Fair Trade items, which are meant to generate greater earnings for family farmers, cover the costs of production, and support socially just and environmentally sound practices. Yet constrained by existing markets and the entities that dominate them, Fair Trade often delivers material improvements for producers that are much more modest than the profound social transformations the movement claims to support. There has been scant real-world assessment of Fair Trade’s effectiveness. Drawing upon fine-grained anthropological studies of a variety of regions and commodity systems including Darjeeling tea, coffee, crafts, and cut flowers, the chapters in Fair Trade and Social Justice represent the first works to use ethnographic case studies to assess whether the Fair Trade Movement is actually achieving its goals.

Fair Trade Coffee Is Increasing In Popularity

 

Many consumers are now making the conscious decision to purchase only fair trade coffee.  As a matter of fact, the fair trade movement has been on the rise over the last ten years.  Due to the increasing demand set forth by customers who want to purchase fair trade products, the larger coffee retailers have taken notice and begun to make it more available to the masses.

Fair trade coffee allows for a fair business relationship between the farmers and the companies that make money from the sale of the coffee.  The reason why this movement is so important is because of the fact that it enables the farmers to get a fair price for their coffee.  Thanks to these practices, it is now more common for farmers and their families to earn a fair wage for their daily efforts in cultivating a product that we enjoy on a daily basis.

There are several conditions that must be met in order for coffee to become certified as fair trade.  First of all, the price paid for the coffee has to be high enough to cover not only the farmers’ production costs, but they also need to have some left over in order to sustain a living.

In addition to that, there must also be sufficient advancement opportunities for the employees working on the farms.  The farmers also have to make sure that they are engaging in farming practices that are environmentally friendly.  This movement is also important because it keeps women and children from being exploited in developing countries.

In order for the coffee to be considered fair trade, there must be a fair business exchange between the farmers and the companies that purchase their products.  In addition to that, the farmers are able to create long term business relationships due to the fact that there must be a contract signed for 1-10 years.  This also allows the farmers to obtain credit through the country of the buyer.  The business transaction must also be totally transparent so that it can always be monitored.

You will know that you are purchasing coffee that has been certified as fair trade when you see the seal of approval from the Fair Trade Federation.  This is an association that only follows fair trade principles.  If you see their logo on a product you can rest assured that the product you are purchasing is from a company that is only committed to following fair trade standards.  In order for a product to be considered fair trade it has to be inspected thoroughly first.  Coffee is not the only product that can be purchased through fair trade practices.  There are several different food products that may carry the fair trade seal.

The growers of the coffee that you drink may be receiving an extremely small percentage of the money that you are paying for it.  If you want to make sure that the farmers are getting their fair share of the profits, make sure that you only purchase fair trade coffee from now on.

Coastal Roasters is a micro-roaster of specialty organic and fair trade coffees from around the world. Their online store offers Coffee Gift and a Coffee of the Month Club featuring their award winning roasts.
