 Living Quality (in pdf format)
In an industry still reeling from persistent low commodity prices, a
path to survival for some small-scale coffee farmers has been access to
the Fair Trade market. As many of our trading partners have
recounted, if it weren't for Equal Exchange, their cooperatives would
have gone under. Another strategy - while difficult at times of
low prices - is investing in an array of cultivation improvements in
hopes of receiving a premium for quality in the marketplace. Our
commitment to quality - in our products, in our trade relationships,
and in our dealings with all or our stakeholders - is the theme of this
year's annual report.
