- Fair trade coffe is a misnomer. The reason that coffee prices are so low on the free market is because there is a massive over production. Due to this over production farmers are unable to sell their coffee and the price falls. In a free market this would result in the farmers being forced to grow another crop or even use their land for subsistance farming. However, with the artifically inflated price of fair trade there is no incentive to change. Infact farmers are encouraged to grow more coffee, which just isn't needed, at the detriment to other locally benefically crops. As a result of this increased surplus big corporations win with cheapener "non-Fair Trade certified" coffee, and local economies are impoverishied by staying in the coffee business when they should not. If you want to help the exploited masses stop artifically supporting farmers in first world countries through protectionism and subsidies. Give third-world producers a chance with an even playing field. FREE TRADE not "Fair Trade"

- From the page: "Fair Trade for coffee farmers means community development, health, education, and environmental stewardship."

- Very informative and interesting site. Didn't realise Starbucks in the US don't use Fairtrade for all their coffee? - I'm pretty sure they do here in the UK.
