This was an extremely interesting book which shed light on the fair-trade coffee Brewing Justice Fair Trade Coffee in Mexico. Written from more of a sociological standpoint rather than an anthropological one, this ethnography relates the trials and tribulations of those from a lens pulled back further still than what I would have liked. It would have been wonderful if Jaffee had really gotten to know individual members of the community a little more. Apr 04, Yeomyung Yoon rated it it was amazing Shelves: my-fav. The scale of his research and the fundamental questions the book addresses tackle the inequalities in Mexico as exacerbated by the global market. In the first half of his book, Jaffee focuses on the villages of Yagavila and Teotlasco in the state of Oaxaca, the most socially and economically marginalized areas in the nation. This is the setting for a case study on the impact that Michiva—the indigenous coffee-producer organization—has on small indigenous peasant farmers. Jaffee delves Brewing Justice Fair Trade Coffee under The scale of his research and the fundamental questions the book addresses tackle the inequalities in Mexico as exacerbated by the global market. Furthermore, the premise of this book, a critique of the global market system, requires him to look at global connections between giant corporations, little corporations, and small coffee producers in Mexico as Brewing Justice Fair Trade Coffee as their relationships to fair trade. In doing so, Jaffee is able to evaluate global capitalism as well as current fair trade. One of Brewing Justice Fair Trade Coffee key issues left unexplored in Brewing Justice is the stratification and class conflict that emerge with the segmentation of the local labor market into fair trade and conventional producers. This is an issue that needs to be addressed. Can fair trade become a means to make all trade fair? The power dynamics at play Sustainability too complicated and the international intricacies too convoluted to envision a complete answer as of yet. But it seems as though Sustainability direction of fair trade is to build upon our market system to make it fairer. Then, people who have more access to fair trade, like large corporations, can become fairer and bigger. Therefore, stratification and class struggle will and Survival 1st edition due to the structure that upholds them. Also, Jaffee does not explicitly include the consumer in this whole picture. He frequently uses consumers and activists interchangeably without addressing the fact that fair trade is neither desirable to everyone nor accessible to and Survival 1st edition. Lastly, I wish he paid more attention to why the fair trade and organic food movements are so intertwined. Organic food is expensive compared to inorganic, mass-produced food. It is also healthier and better for the environment. In a similar vein, fair trade products are more expensive but arguably better produced and more ethically made. This also exacerbates class difference as people with money can consume better and more ethically grown food whereas people without have to settle for food of poorer quality. Despite its Sustainability, the strength of Brewing Justice lies in showing how multifaceted the issue is. It carries enormous amount of information with in-depth field research in Mexico to following the commodity chain coffee all the way to certifier and breweries in the United States. More importantly, it is the critique of our social structure, especially capitalism and neoliberalism. View 1 comment. Jan 28, Zygmunt Osiecki rated it liked it. This book highlights the incredible division between coffee production and Survival 1st edition the global markets. Economically, the production of Fair Trade coffee does little to satiate the fears of Sustainability crisis for these villagers. The endless stream of production costs associated with Fair Trade, such as inspection fees, and certifications negates the benefit of this form of production.

In terms of sustainability this book offers a great chapter on identifying the benefit of organic, Fair Trade coffee production, though in relation to the overall cost it may prove pointless.

  • Fairtrade Certification, Labor Standards, and Labor Rights Comparative Innovations and Persistent Challenges
    LAURA T. RAYNOLDS Professor, Department of Sociology, Director, Center for Fair & Alternative Trade, Colorado State University Email: [email protected] Fairtrade Certification, Labor Standards, and Labor Rights Comparative Innovations and Persistent Challenges ABSTRACT Fairtrade International certification is the primary social certification in the agro-food sector in- tended to promote the well-being and empowerment of farmers and workers in the Global South. Although Fairtrade’s farmer program is well studied, far less is known about its labor certification. Helping fill this gap, this article provides a systematic account of Fairtrade’s labor certification system and standards and com- pares it to four other voluntary programs addressing labor conditions in global agro-export sectors. The study explains how Fairtrade International institutionalizes its equity and empowerment goals in its labor certifica- tion system and its recently revised labor standards. Drawing on critiques of compliance-based labor stand- ards programs and proposals regarding the central features of a ‘beyond compliance’ approach, the inquiry focuses on Fairtrade’s efforts to promote inclusive governance, participatory oversight, and enabling rights. I argue that Fairtrade is making important, but incomplete, advances in each domain, pursuing a ‘worker- enabling compliance’ model based on new audit report sharing, living wage, and unionization requirements and its established Premium Program. While Fairtrade pursues more robust ‘beyond compliance’ advances than competing programs, the study finds that, like other voluntary initiatives, Fairtrade faces critical challenges in implementing its standards and realizing its empowerment goals. KEYWORDS fair trade, Fairtrade International, multi-stakeholder initiatives, certification, voluntary standards, labor rights INTRODUCTION Voluntary certification systems seeking to improve social and environmental conditions in global production have recently proliferated.

  • 1 Doherty, B, Davies, IA (2012), Where Now for Fair Trade, Business History
    Doherty, B, Davies, I.A. (2012), Where now for fair trade, Business History, (Forthcoming) Abstract This paper critically examines the discourse surrounding fair trade mainstreaming, and discusses the potential avenues for the future of the social movement. The authors have a unique insight into the fair trade market having a combined experience of over 30 years in practice and 15 as fair trade scholars. The paper highlights a number of benefits of mainstreaming, not least the continued growth of the global fair trade market (tipped to top $7 billion in 2012). However the paper also highlights the negative consequences of mainstreaming on the long term viability of fair trade as a credible ethical standard. Keywords: Fair trade, Mainstreaming, Fairtrade Organisations, supermarket retailers, Multinational Corporations, Co-optation, Dilution, Fair-washing. Introduction Fair trade is a social movement based on an ideology of encouraging community development in some of the most deprived areas of the world1. It coined phrases such as “working themselves out of poverty” and “trade not aid” as the mantras on which growth and public acceptance were built.2 As it matured it formalised definitions of fair trade and set up independent governance and monitoring organisations to oversee fair trade supply-chain agreements and the licensing of participants. The growth of fair trade has gone hand-in-hand with a growth in mainstream corporate involvement, with many in the movement perceiving engagement with the market mechanism as the most effective way of delivering societal change.3 However, despite some 1 limited discussion of the potential impacts of this commercial engagement4 there has been no systematic investigation of the form, structures and impacts of commercial engagement in fair trade, and what this means for the future of the social movement.

An Analysis of the Distribution of Returns in the Swedish Coffee Market Dick Durevall* HUI Research and Department of Economics, University of Gothenburg 23/02/2015 Abstract Consumers pay a premium for Fair Trade coffee, often assuming that it mainly benefits poor coffee farmers. However, several studies report that most of the premium accrues to actors in the consumer countries, such as roasters and retailers. This paper analyses how the returns to Fair Trade are distributed among bean producer countries, roasters and retailers, and Fairtrade Sweden, using scanner data on 185 products from Sweden and information about costs of production. The distribution depends on how much more costly it is to produce Fair Trade coffee compared to conventional coffee, given costs of beans and licences. Assuming the difference is 5 SEK per kg (about USD 0.80), which is on the high side, roasters and retailers get 61%, while producer countries, i.e., coffee farmers, cooperatives, middlemen, exporters and Fairtrade International, get 31%. The rest accrues to Fairtrade Sweden. These estimates are uncertain, but there is there strong evidence that Fair Trade retail prices are higher than the level attributable to the costs of Fair Trade beans and licences.

  • GA-2 16, Topic-Free Vs Fair Trade, Final
    Montana Model UN High School Conference General Assembly Second Committee Topic 2: Free Trade vs. Fair Trade with Developing Countries 1 1 October 2016 There are two basic approaches to international trade. The first approach, free trade , is the idea that government intervention and protectionist methods such as tariffs and import controls should be limited, allowing prices to be set by supply and demand and, therefore, to be as low as possible. The second approach, fair trade , is the idea that free market prices fail to provide for worker security in countries where labor is in abundance and wages are often inadequate to support workers’ most basic needs. Fair trade advocates argue that prices should be set to take such situations into account. The emphasis in free trade then, is on low prices, while the emphasis in fair trade is on fair prices. Those in favor of free trade argue that states should take several actions to reduce protectionism. First, states should reduce or eliminate tariffs (also known as customs duties), which are taxes on imports. 2 An example of a tariff is the US tariff on imported steel from China, which was set at 265.79% in March of 2016 to protect the US steel industry from the low prices that were accompanying a large “influx of foreign steel.” 3 Second, reducing protectionism calls for limiting subsidies. Subsidies are the financial assistance paid to support domestic businesses to make them artificially competitive against imports. In the European Union (EU) for example, domestic wheat farmers are being paid $200 per ton of wheat; however, outside of the EU, wheat can be purchased at $150 per ton, showing that EU farmers are being subsidized by $50 per ton.

It advocates the payment of a higher price to exporters as well as higher social and environmental standards. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine,[2] fresh fruit, chocolate, flowers, and gold.[3] Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect that seek greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers – especially in the South. Fair Trade Organizations, backed by consumers, are engaged actively in supporting producers, awareness raising and in campaigning for changes in the rules and practice of conventional international trade.[4] There are several recognized Fairtrade certifiers, including Fairtrade International (formerly called FLO/Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International), IMO and Eco-Social.

    Facing the Challenge: The Temptations and Perils of Placing Volume over Values in the Fair Trade Market Chair and Convenor: Monika Maria Firl, Cooperative Coffees Address: 4542 rue de Marquette Montreal, QC H2J 3Y4 Telephone: 1-514-284-6162 Fax: 1-514-221-3611 E-mail: [email protected] Status: Practitioners (Fair Trade Coffee Importers, Roasters and Promoters) Volume verses Values: This workshop is intended to demystify certain assumptions around the debate on “How to grow the market?” a lively topic now commonplace in many Fair Trade circles. Along with the entrance of increasing numbers of Trans National Corporations (TNCs) without evident social agendas, many critics and practitioners are suddenly thrown into an “either or” discussion around the future directions of Fair Trade. Depending on whom you talk to and which way you look at it, Fair Trade is either “selling out” or “finally hitting the mainstream.” We will examine the strength of economic justice messaging based upon solid values and demonstrative commitment with both producer partners and local consumer networks, and how that has proved to be a more powerful tool for developing a sustainable Fair Trade network than slick marketing and/or large publicity budgets. We will bring together North American Fair Trade pioneers and innovators to share their respective life experiences introducing and developing Fair Trade markets in their respective fields of influence. We will provide a brief presentation by each one of the critical actors along the Fair Trade system: Fair Trade producer representative, Fair Trade financer, Fair Trade certifier, Fair Trade importer and Fair Trade roaster.

  • Fair Trade: Social Regulation in Global Food Markets
    Journal of Rural Studies 28 (2012) 276e287 Contents lists available at SciVerse ScienceDirect Journal of Rural Studies journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/jrurstud Fair Trade: Social regulation in global food markets Laura T. Raynolds* Center for Fair & Alternative Trade, Sociology Department, Clark Building, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523, United States abstract Keywords: This article analyzes the theoretical and empirical parameters of social regulation in contemporary global Regulation food markets, focusing on the rapidly expanding Fair Trade initiative. Fair Trade seeks to transform Globalization North/South relations by fostering ethical consumption, producer empowerment, and certified Fair Trade commodity sales. This initiative joins an array of labor and environmental standard and certification Certification systems which are often conceptualized as “private regulations” since they depend on the voluntary participation of firms. I argue that these new institutional arrangements are better understood as “social regulations” since they operate beyond the traditional bounds of private and public (corporate and state) domains and are animated by individual and collective actors. In the case of Fair Trade, I illuminate how relational and civic values are embedded in economic practices and institutions and how new quality assessments are promoted as much by social movement groups and loosely aligned consumers and producers as they are by market forces. This initiative’s recent commercial success has deepened price competition and buyer control and eroded its traditional peasant base, yet it has simultaneously created new openings for progressive politics. The study reveals the complex and contested nature of social regulation in the global food market as movement efforts move beyond critique to institution building.

Fair Trade Practices in the Northwest Brazilian Amazon 413 Abstract This paper describes and analyzes the Arte Baniwa project, a sustainable development project based on the production and commercialization of Baniwa indigenous basketwork with the support of the Instituto Socioambiental (ISA), a major NGO in Brazil. The project seeks to enhance the value of the Baniwa basket- making tradition, increase production within the limits of the sustainable use of natural resources, generate income for indigenous producers and their political associations, and train indigenous leadership in the skills of business management. The methodology encompasses a literature review on fair trade and builds upon ethnographic and participative research methods. The narrative and analysis of the case study comprise a framework that is two-fold: first, it looks at existing inter-organizational tiers between actors and identifies the presence of two different logics within the project; second, it encompasses the reality of many emerging fair trade initiatives in Brazil which harness market forces to pursue local sustainable development.

  • Mainstreaming Fair Trade: a Discussion Through the Lipton Tea Case
    Mainstreaming Fair Trade: A Discussion through the Lipton Tea Case Sylvaine Poret •• Social and environmental externalities of production, such as pollution or overexploitation of natural re- sources, and other market failures, like competitive disadvantages of some small producers, are issues well- known by many citizens living in the northern hemisphere. And the latter want to integrate these concerns in their daily acts. Indeed, a demand for sustainable products and services has appeared in developed countries for several decades. Thus, on the one hand, some consumers living in developed countries want to buy certain types of products which have sustainable attributes either embodied in the good or in the processes and methods used to produce and trade it. On the other hand, there are some producers, notably in developing countries, who would like the opportunity to produce and market in developed countries products with this kind of attributes. These different desires can create an incentive for more sustainable methods of production and trade. Fair trade is a good illustration of this view, since fair trade products link ethically minded consumers in the northern hemisphere with small producers in the southern hemisphere. Manufacturers and retailers are the link between producers and consumers. Therefore, they can supply products with sustainable attributes. This induces two related analyses in terms of strategic choices for suppliers in the framework of the theory of industrial organization. First, in order to gain market power or to avoid head-on competition, firms already well established in the market can choose among other compe- titive strategies product vertical or horizontal differentiation.
