OF FAIRTRADE

Coffee

Coffee is big business and remains one of the most valuable primary products in world trade.
© Fairtrade 2012
However, for many of the world’s 25 million coffee farmers, coffee is a labour intensive crop that frequently yields small financial returns.
© Fairtrade 2012
More than 70 percent of all coffee farmers are smallholders working on plots smaller than 10 hectares in developing countries. The Fairtrade Standards for coffee only apply to small producer organizations.

Due to the four years it takes a coffee plant to yield fruit, it is difficult for farmers to respond quickly to the fluctuating markets.
