Cafédirect instant coffee is 100% Fairtrade.  This means that it is certified by the Fairtrade Labelling Organisation (FLO) and meets the criteria for paying a fair price to growers. In fact, Cafédirect go beyond the Fairtrade criteria and have a unique pricing structure.

 Fairtrade minimum prices for unroasted green coffee beans are as follows:

• Arabica coffee Fairtrade price: 131 US cents/lb
• Arabica organic coffee Fairtrade price: 151 US cents/lb
• Robusta coffee Fairtrade price: 111 US cents/lb
• Robusta organic coffee Fairtrade price: 131 US cents/lb

Whenever the market price goes beyond these minimum prices, Fairtrade stipulates to pay the market price plus 5 US cents/lb premium. Cafédirect go a bit further: they take the market price and pay the growers this price plus an extra 10% premium.

What’s more, their Gold Standard policy also ensures that a significant amount of their profits is reinvested into Producer Partnership Programmes. From 2003 to 2006 they reinvested on average 60% of their profits.
