How Fair Trade works
Over 25 million farmers and coffee workers in more than 50 countries produce coffee worldwide. When you buy Certified FAIR TRADE coffee, (always accompanied by the logo above) you're helping improve the working conditions and quality of life for many. Fair Trade is an organized social movement which focuses on goods being exported from underdeveloped economic areas into more established markets. Fair Trade practices are now helping coffee farmers as well as producers of such products as cocoa, honey, bananas, tea, cotton, wine and handicrafts.
Under fair trade guideline, the coffee farmer receives an agreed upon minimum price for their products. When you see the Fair Trade logo on the coffee you buy from ONEbean you can be assured that the purchasing of the 'green' (unroasted) coffee beans is being monitored closely. Not only do the coffee farmers receive a fair price for their products, but the Fair Trade program includes a mechanism to bring social change to the farming community and includes the following:
- Low cost, or no-interest loans
- agricultural technology assistance
- communications
- community owned transport
- health care and education
 Certified Organic - more than a buzzword
Certified Organic refers to a series of controls placed on coffee growers by the Organic Crop Improvement Association. All OCIA certified products are all natural and free of pesticides. With these harmful chemicals removed from the agricultural process, farm workers and their families have a brighter future, and even you, the consumer, are guaranteed a healthier coffee experience.
