This is a little coffee tale about fudging the truth with statistics. Or maybe it's that the largest specialty coffee company in the world simply made a little inadvertent mistake. You be the judge. As people learn more about the long-term crisis in coffee pricing, they are wanting to know what their favorite coffee company is paying its farmers. As a 100% Fair Trade company, our answer is easy - we pay $1.41/lb at a minimum to the farmer cooperatives for all of our coffees. Sounds good, doesn't it?

Let's keep an eye on those guys and see if they'll ever come clean.

The GT is a critical area, it recharges aquifers and rivers, is known for some of Nicaragua’s richest agricultural land, and also serves as a biological channel for many tropical birds.

Compas de Nicaragua. Compas de Nicaragua. Don José Ramon Muñoz Vasquez is 40 years-old and farms three manzanas of land (5.22 acres) in the community of San Pedro.
In addition to corn, beans, rice, and sorghum, Don Ramon grows coffee, fruit trees, tomatoes, peppers, avocados, and yucca. After saving part of his crops for future seeds and feeding his family, he sells as much as he can. But unfortunately, when the harvest is good, the prices he gets for his crops are low. “The money doesn’t come to the poor farmer,” Don Ramon says. According to Don Ramon, the coop supports local farmers in many ways. The BSR coop itself has also provided Don Ramon with fruit trees and shade trees.
