Fair Trade certification from the Netherlands around the year 1988 after a decline in wholesale prices of coffee in the world. Prices on world markets fell so low that the world's coffee farmers are not getting wage gains in farming. In 1997, the certification of several other labels have been developed through the Fair Foundation, TransFair USA and Rattvisemarkt.
With Fair Trade Certification wholesale importers must follow a certain standard price. When the high world market prices they would get a high profit. Fair Trade agreements also eliminate the middlemen between producers and consumers for the same retail price.
Many people believe that the Fair Trade labels allow retailers to raise prices significantly without the knowledge of the core company. Lead to price competition between the local coffee shops and Wal-Mart sells organic and Fair Trade coffee beans.
Fair Trade coffee prices have been addressed at least some degree. It is inevitable that the increasing demand for organic coffee. So to increase profits for farmers to increase the amount of organic coffee beans they produce a lot of profit.
