Better Results = Better Coffee
Most Small-scale farmers earn less than $2,000 per year
Yet those same farmers produce 80% of the world's coffee. With incomes that low, they're forced to choose between investing in their farms or taking care of their families.
But What About "Fair" Trade?
"Fair" trade pays between 15-20 cents extra per pound of coffee, but the sad truth is that money usually doesn't reach the farmer. And even when it does, it's not enough to make a real impact.
