In Cup Plus supply Fairtrade Instant Gold Coffee in our coffee vending machines.
Fairtrade logos on coffee assures consumers that the coffee was purchased under
fair conditions.
For a coffee importer to become Fairtrade certified, an importer must meet stringent
international criteria which include:-
- Paying a minimum price for coffee (per pound)
- Providing much needed credit to farmers
- Providing technical assistance
- Encourage sustainable organic farming
- Make improvements to health, education and community development
Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability
and fair terms of trade for coffee farmers and workers in the developing world.
Fair Instant® Fairtrade Gold
A selected blend of freeze dried coffee, including beans
from Central and South America which produces a well balanced, rich roasted cup
of coffee, perfect for any time of the day from our hot drinks machines.
Fairtrade is a growing international movement with the aim to ensure that producers
in poor countries get a fair deal for their products and are not exploited.
Coffee producers in poorer countries deserve a fair price for their goods and should
be offered a price that covers both the cost of production and a sufficient amount
to guarantee families have an income which they can live on.
Fairtrade offers coffee producers and their families security by offering long term
contracts and enabling the producers themselves to learn new skills which is essential
in enabling them to develop and improve their businesses.
More information about Fairtrade Coffee can be found on the Fairtrade
Foundation website www.fairtrade.org.uk/
