Fair price The Fair Trade Certified™ label certifies that farmers who grew the coffee received a minimum price. Fair trade guidelines also ensure that certain criteria are met, including decent working and living conditions, freedom of association access to capital and environmental practices.

Starbucks and Fair Trade Purchasing Fair Trade Certified™ coffee is one way that Starbucks supports cooperatives of small-scale farmers and is part of a larger, integrated approach Starbucks takes to building mutually beneficial relationships with coffee farmers and their communities.

Starbucks Fair Trade Certified™ coffee available around the world In fiscal 2006, Starbucks purchased 18 million pounds of Fair Trade Certified™ coffee.
