coffee farmers collecting ripe coffee cherries in an article on whether roasters should buy from fair trade certified farmers. Bruce 2024-10-26 0112 Bruce 2024-10-26 15:48
This, in turn, reduces the amount individual farmers can sell at the Fair Trade price. Bruce 2024-10-26 0107 Bruce 2024-10-26 15:48
Conversely, when prices drop below the Fair Trade premium, it encourages more farmers to sell through the model. Bruce 2024-10-26 097 Bruce 2024-10-26 15:48

��Certifications imply additional costs for all subsequent players along the coffee chains �C especially on those responsible for educating consumers about the use of these certifications, such as roasters and baristas,�� she adds. Bruce 2024-10-26 0153 Bruce 2024-10-26 15:47
Daria explains access to these certifications is still limited to many farmers in terms of information and finances. Bruce 2024-10-26 0114 Bruce 2024-10-26 15:47
��However, the cost of production grows, so how can we be sure a farmer is receiving sufficient funds to improve their livelihood?�� Bruce 2024-10-26 0112 Bruce 2024-10-26 15:46
This was to ensure a farmer gets a minimum fair wage, a premium to a market price. Bruce 2024-10-26 097 Bruce 2024-10-26 15:46
