Fair Trade Coffee Offers a Solution to the Coffee Crisis

Fairtrade coffee provides a solution for the coffee crisis. When buying coffee in Starbucks every morning to wake up, did you think about the sources of these coffee beans? How much of the 3 dollars you paid for Starbucks is for farmers. Personally, I am not a coffee drinker. But somehow, I noticed that the important symbol in front of Java City at Reitz Union Food Court is "Certified Fair Trade Coffee." There are few students who know what that means. Currently, farmers in Brazil and Vietnam grow most coffee beans.

Fair Trade Coffee Fair Trade promotes long-term relationships between socially and environmentally sustainable technologies and producers, traders and consumers. Many low price and low quality coffee beans boosted the price of the world market to the lowest level in 30 years. Many people now have less harvest than harvest

Since the establishment of organizations such as the European Fair Trade Association (1987), production and consumption of fair trade coffee is also increasing, as some regional and national coffee chain companies are beginning to offer Fair Trade alternatives . For example, in April 2000, Starbucks decided to shop Fairtrade coffee at stores after a year-long campaign through a human rights group global exchange. Since September 2009, all Starbucks Espresso beverages in the UK and Ireland are made from coffee certified by Fair Trade and Shared Planet.
