Fair Trade Coffee

Fairtrade coffee is coffee that is produced and traded under Fairtrade standards, which aim to support farmers and workers in the coffee industry. Fairtrade works with farmers and businesses to promote better working conditions, fairer trading practices and more sustainable farming. When coffee is Fairtrade certified, it means the product has met specific standards set by Fairtrade. Fairtrade can help coffee farmers receive a Fairtrade Minimum Price when applicable, which provides a safety net when market prices fall. Farmers can also receive a Fairtrade Premium, which is an additional amount of money that producer organisations can invest in projects and improvements that benefit their members and communities. Fairtrade also focuses on environmental and social standards. These can include protecting natural resources, reducing harmful farming practices and supporting safer working conditions. This makes Fairtrade coffee a choice that connects the coffee in your cup with the people and communities involved in producing it. At Coffee Corner, we think it is important to understand where coffee comes from and how it reaches our customers. Fairtrade coffee gives coffee lovers an opportunity to enjoy their favourite drink while supporting a system designed to give coffee producers greater stability and better trading conditions.

When buying coffee, you can look for the Fairtrade mark on products to find out whether they are part of the Fairtrade system.
