			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:left;margin: 0 20px 10px 0;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2041/4511857684_ba39284792_m.jpg" width="160" />
<p> some interesting facts and questions about fair trade gourmet coffee: <br /> /> <br<br />
1st The targeted gourmet coffee farmers need fair trade takes a farm less than 10 hectares, his family operates and works on the farm, they live in a third world country or the distance to the mountains of central America country like Brazil. They receive about $. 65 cents per pound, but fair trade and make less than $ 10,000 annually. They desperately need fair trade to get out of their poverty. </p>
<p>2nd Without telephones, newspapers, television, telephones, cell phones, and in most cases, running water and electricity &#8211; how does this farmer even know about &#8220;fair trade&#8221; in the first place? </p>
<p>3rd With no savings, no banks, no loans and no finances how this farmer has to pay fees to get fair trade? </p>
<p>4th How much advertising does Fair Trade do out side the U.S.? Zero! If they did there and the media would they use? </p>
<p>5th Interestingly, most Fair Trade Coffee Company in foreign lands owned by Americans or large cooperatives is partly owned and financed by Americans. </p>
<p>6th Fair Trade doubles the price of coffee farmer receives but does nothing to ensure that workers working on the farm may be more money. Of all the large farms owned by Americans but operated by local people to help Americans get much richer but do nothing for the local coffee workers. </p>
<p>7th Fair Trade does not do anything to ensure that the coffee is any better or better quality &#8211; it only ensures that the price is higher. </p>
<p>8th Fair trade is not recognized by China or Russia or Japan or any of the coffee countries. </p>
<p>9th Fair trade has helped many Americans feel much better about themselves. </p>
<p>10th It has done very little to help the farmers who need it most. </p>
<p>In conclusion, fair trade means that we Americans are feeling good about ourselves, helps us pay higher prices for inferior coffee, helping large and rich farmers get richer. It does nothing to help the pheasant farmer we dream it helps. And it gives us a false marketing ploy that Fair Trade is actually a better quality coffee i = when in fact it only means that a more expensive gourmet coffee. And it really gives us a false sense of self worth and that we are helping poor farmers when we&#8217;re not. It causes us to pay too much for bad coffee, and think about fair trade has nothing to do with &#8220;quality&#8221; when it is not. It does nothing to help the labor pool inspection working at coffee houses or stop children from working in coffee farms. But it has raised the price of coffee and our consciousness. Only if it could be more sincere, helpful /> <br </ p> </p>

<p> Tea is second only to oil as the most traded product in the world, and the U.S. is its largest consumer. While the average cost of a pound of coffee ranges from $ 3. 2000 to almost $ 40. 2000, the average third world coffee farmers only 25-50 cents. Although high yields can gather close to 10 000 per year for the average farmer, by the time the return hits the cup in the U.S., it is worth more than three-quarters of a million dollars. </p>

<p>Fair Trade Organizations, such as the Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO) and FLO-CERT, provide strict guidelines in line with coffee beans from plant to finished product. When a product is designated as Fair Trade Certified (TM) means that it has been produced for a reasonable price, safe and healthy conditions, and in accordance with the direct marketing standard that gives the farmer more control and allow them to compete globally. Fair trade organizations are also working with farmers to promote community development programs and maintain environmental management practices. </p>

Com / content / Article 10th asp "> coffee pods </ a> or even instant coffee. Larger cafes and restaurants have started offering fair-trade certified coffee alongside or as an alternative to regular coffee produced. </p>
<p> <b> fair trade coffee costs more? </ B> </p>
<p>Although there is a slight variation in prices compared to mass produced products, fair trade-certified coffee priced competitively with other gourmet and specialty coffee, and no difference will decrease as the increase fair trade coffee. Bypassing middlemen make Fairtrade certified coffee prices to remain competitive, while net farmer a greater return. </p>
<p> <b> How to buy fair trade coffee farmers benefit? </ B> </p>
<p>In fair trade, farmers receive a fixed minimum price for their product, unlike regular coffee growers whose income is generally well below market value. Fair Trade certification also helps farmers implement organic practices, better labor practices and safer working conditions. Benefits reach farmers through labeling and auditing systems that track from the coffee harvest to packaging. </p>
<p> <b> Can you taste a difference? </ B> </p>

Sustainable Harvest is a for-profit coffee importer business with a strong social mission to provide sustainable, lasting markets for coffee farmers around the world. As one of the largest fair trade coffee importers in the world, the price Sustainable Harvest pays growers is always well above the world commodity prices for coffee. Relationship Coffee is built upon a foundation of transparency, full traceability, trade credit, total quality, and training. Sustainable Harvest overseas farmer training offices help small-holder coffee growers to improve their quality and access higher paying markets. As an importer of green specialty coffees from the top organic and fair trade farms from around the world, the company sells directly to coffee roaster/retailers. Sustainable Harvest was the first importer to focus exclusively on organic, shade-grown, and fair trade specialty coffees. It was recognized by the Specialty Coffee Association of America in 2006 for the creation and development of the idea called &#8220;Relationship Coffee&#8221;, as a new business model which has helped thousands of small coffee farmers and communities survive the recent coffee crisis. The company remains the industry leader in building sustainable coffee trade relationships between growers and buyers.</p>
