Tropical Rainforest Alliance Certification and Fair Trade Coffee Organization

Tropical Rainforest Alliance Certification and Fairtrade Coffee Organization, to put it simply, is to enable us consumers to continuously and reasonably produce safe and delicious coffee; therefore, Fairtrade Coffee advocates that producers must be paid the appropriate equivalent price when dealing with producers in order to maintain a good partnership and ensure that producers have sufficient funds to continue production.

Coffee cultivation and producing areas account for a large part of the southern hemisphere, but the income of farmers in the growing areas is often very low. Fairtrade Coffee can not only narrow the economic gap between the North and the South, but also improve the living environment of workers in coffee plantations. and then protect the natural environment-coffee prices on the market are very influential, as long as prices fall. The manor managed by the bank will cut down the coffee tree together with the shade tree and plant the pasture, and the farmers who used to work on the manor will also lose their jobs. On the contrary, if the price rises, even if it may cause environmental damage, the producing area will still adopt mass production, or even ignore the contracts previously signed with consumer land operators and sell them to other consumers at a higher market price.

In order to improve this phenomenon, the human rights and environment of producers must be protected so that they can grow good quality coffee and get the proper price, while consumers can enjoy good coffee at ease. This is the reason for promoting fair trade.
