By choosing Equal Exchange coffee, you’re supporting a different kind of business model, one without forced child labor that is based on dignity and transparency. When you buy a fairly traded product it means that a stable price was paid to farmers, significantly higher than the fluctuating market price. Long-term trading relationships mean income that farmers can count on, year after year.
“Is Fair Trade coffee really that different from non-Fair Trade coffee?”įair Trade is a way of doing business that aims to keep small farmers an active part of the world marketplace without being at the mercy of unstable market prices. It’s not charity – it’s a sustainable and alternative trading model that helps producers make a viable living and stay on their own land while advancing many economic, social and environmental goals. Is your current coffee company 100% dedicated to doing the same?Įqual Exchange offers organic, ethically sourced products that you can find in natural grocery stores and cafes, but we offer wholesale case pricing so you can access great prices on coffee, tea, chocolate and more for serving and fundraising. Buying from Equal Exchange, who trades directly with small-scale farmer cooperatives, ensures that more of the money you spend on coffee and other products reaches the hardworking farmers who actually grow them. Introduce Equal Exchange’s mission with this 2-minute video: “Why Equal Exchange over of a different brand?”Įqual Exchange is a worker-owned cooperative started in 1986 with a mission to build long-term trade partnerships that are economically just and environmentally sound, to foster mutually beneficial relationships between farmers and consumers and to demonstrate the contribution of worker cooperatives and Fair Trade to a more equitable, democratic and sustainable world. If your members want to promote social justice, environmental sustainability and fair trading relationships, Equal Exchange offers an affordable way to connect your values with your actions without sacrificing taste and quality. Choosing fairly traded, organic coffee has a real and meaningful impact in all three areas. Equal Exchange coffee is better for farmers, better for the environment and better for those who appreciate high-quality, organically grown coffee.
