CRS provides direct assistance to coffee farmers overseas and supports them by promoting Fair Trade here in the United States. We do this through the CRS Fair Trade Network – more than a dozen coffee partners who ensure their product agreements with disadvantaged farmers and workers uphold the standards of Fair Trade. We also provide technical and financial assistance to help farmers improve farming, harvesting, and processing techniques so they can meet the demands of the Fair Trade market.
As more of us become aware of the advantages of Fair Trade, more people choose to buy Fair Trade coffee, and more disadvantaged coffee farmers are able to sell their coffee under Fair Trade terms. That’s the idea. So help make the switch to Fair Trade coffee in your home or community; support disadvantaged coffee farmers and secure a fair and sustainable marketplace today.
