“THE FAIR TRADE MODEL, WHICH WAS CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH FARMER ORGANISATIONS, ADVOCATES, AND THE INDUSTRY, SUPPORTS COFFEE FARMERS IN TWO MAIN WAYS: THE FAIR TRADE MINIMUM PRICE, WHICH SERVES AS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY NET WHEN THE PRICE OF COFFEE DIPS TO UNSUSTAINABLE LOWS; AND THE FAIR TRADE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUNDS – EXTRA INCOME GENERATED THROUGH EACH FAIR TRADE PURCHASE THAT FARMERS DEMOCRATICALLY DESIGNATE TO ADDRESS THEIR MOST PRESSING NEEDS.”
