BACK TO SCHOOL - THE POWER TO EMPOWER WORLD BLEND
By choosing Fair Coffee World Blend, you are supporting the Fairtrade framework, which in turn works towards countering the inequality in trade relationships in countries such as Ethiopia, Honduras, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, by paying at least a Fairtrade Minimum Price set to cover the sustainable cost of production, or the market price when it's higher.
On top of a Fairtrade Minimum Price for most products, the Fairtrade approach includes a Fairtrade Premium – an additional sum of money that farmers and workers invest in projects they choose.
