Fairtrade assures consumers that the coffee we drink was purchased under fair conditions. To become Fair Trade certified, an importer must meet stringent international criteria; paying a minimum price per pound of $1.26, providing much needed credit to farmers, and providing technical assistance such as help transitioning to organic farming. Fair Trade for coffee farmers means community development, health, education, and environmental stewardship
Bananas are the fifth most important agricultural commodity in world trade. It is a major staple food crop for many millions of people in areas of Central, East and West Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. They grow easily, are cheap sources of energy and vitamins, and can be harvested all year round, thus providing a source of energy during the "hungry gap" between other crop harvests.
