buying products on the so-called fair global trade market voluntarily pays a higher price this is intended to benefit these coffee farmers in africa they set up cooperatives and selling coffee directly to fair trade organizations in europe and america. to. be so close to the russian a little earlier we were often cheated by the traders when we sold our coffee why you don't think that trade since we joined fair trade my income has more than doubled in the need to work kids. in early july morning in southern uganda this mountainous area alone has between a father. 101500 meters above sea level conditions are ideal for coffee cultivation

. after many kilometers on dirt roads you reach marion which includes each house it's from much and not easy to find because the house is a scattered throughout the mountains. the 39 year old coffee farmer is married and has 4 children. right now it's high season harvest time when marion spends all day on her plantation during this period everything revolves around the coffee beans growing between the banana plants and coconut palms they have to be as ready as possible redness means they're right. marian has around 600 coffee plants because she can't harvest all that alone local women come to help.

for about 10 years this farm has belonged to a village co-operative which in turn belongs to a large regional co-operative with more than 1500 members. today marian's husband sam has come to the plantation to help his own plantation is at the far end of the village. when he helps out here his wife is the boss but they always plan to work together. so if the land power patents were having 6. what we appear only. on the others there were. in the beginning. but i doubt they will be in the bidding for. them another week and i'm a family we also went to. during the harvest season from june to september everything takes place on the plantations. new warning to

warmer. we can walk away the rest came across coffee growing when i got married 20 years ago. while my husband sam's family was a well known cocky growing family in our area. i can tell you. in addition to his work as a farmer sam has another job he also works as a consultant for the large regional cooperative of coffee producers the c.p.c. youth this unites all village cooperatives within a radius of almost 100 kilometers they sell their coffee to fair trade organizations some of which will look aged in germany. when sam gets back from his consultations with other farmers he's often covered dozens of miles on foot in the last few years expert advice has allowed farmers to

increase their yields by about 15 percent without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides in a good season marion can harvest up to $500.00 kilos of coffee for one month through much of this one is properly managed. this one because this one is. grown into the. new big quinn the red or red the red we've we've all this will go inside what you said it's the. that's the that's one of them this one has its own place. i'm all for has its own sense of premium. it also has its own. pain. marion is guaranteed the equivalent of just under a euro per kilo of harvested bins that's not a lot but it's almost 3 times more than before fair trade was introduced as

a mother of 4 she can't cover her family's costs with coffee every year she wait eagerly for the additional bonus and it's all all. still the proceeds from fair trade in coffee provides a family was previously unthinkable opportunities the money to send the kids to school for instance. for serving. over there must. we are we have monday did we have managed by another before we learned who. we are cutting old the place for example i have are now that. there. but the brother of the 604th. that would be the boat before our. farmers in the remote valleys store their harvested coffee beans in their own

warehouses not this work used to be done by middlemen who were of course paid fairtrade cuts out the middlemen and the money stays in the farmer's hands. this truck is carrying 3 bags from marion's plantation each of the white sacks contain 60 kilos of dried coffee beans. there are no be processed in this factory which belongs to the co-operative. 3 years ago it's 9500 members invested part of their bonuses in its construction. that created new jobs for a dozen workers at least for a few months a year. the

coffee beans at cleveland peeled and salted by machine. the quality of the raw coffee is crucial as are the appearance and size of the beans we've got 34 part of their courses. for the troops there were 18 so that's why we thought victims of this and we will move into europe the robot of course for the for the farmers the for the that the nearby with of addicted to the process unfit for that of his or her house started part of. 40 years ago at the beginning of fair trade its supporters had to compromise on quality. but fair trade has long since been delivering good flavor. the clear conscience. the machine selects only the best beans for export everything else is kept for

personal use in uganda. every bag for export is checked again more than 60 women examine literally every single coffee if it's the wrong color or size it's discarded. then a sample is sent to the laboratory to check the flavor a handful of beans are roasted ground and finally infused it's a kind of blind tasting the taste is don't know beforehand which samples come from which plantations. john were garber the general manager of the co-operative is also taking part in the tasting it's not only guarantees the quality of the product but also ensures that the coffee farmers are properly recompensed.

the farmers are paid regardless of the quality of their beans. most of the receipts for. now we see who. we are divided. on payday the coffee farmers can get their money immediately. the bank counter has been set up in the garden to pay it out in cash the bank is also part of the co-operative. the co-operative guarantee that is the 1st payment to sit still and just use the sales risk minutes later if the export goes ahead the farmers can get bonuses and that's what marian and her husband do every year both are confident they have been sort of high quality.

that would be. another quality check this time at random. thank. you. to thermal or buy you are sick of the pressure of months of remember to. rip it off. to trading partner in this case is the oldest and largest fair trade organization in europe germany's g. e.p.a. . a few days later the sample arrives in the german city of time where g e p a has its headquarters set up 40 years ago in

a small church office the organization now has a turnover of more than 100000000 euros a year but g.e. e.p.a. isn't concerned about profits its shareholders are exclusively church organizations . e.p.a. wants as much money as possible to flow back to producers in the countries of origin. procurement manager francisco pena is about to test a sample from uganda. the pre-packed coffee in uganda will emily be dispatched if she gives the green light. as an expert she travels regularly to africa and discusses cultivation and quality standards with the partners. nothing works without mutual trust. him healthy along with the we have very long term contracts with our trading partners some 12 to 14 months into the future so we are buying coffee on paper that

doesn't even exist yet is forgotten. here the coffee's origins can be traced back to the individual farmers who. create a few horses as a fair trade pioneer it's very important for g.e. p.a. to show that we're buying very high quality coffee on fairtrade terms and that we have a very close relationship with the cooperatives we have direct trade relations there are no middlemen here which is something our customers want more information on and care about. our customers are always happy when they see photos of the farmers on the coffee or on other products that creates a connection and gives the coffee a personal touch that's the coffee i dove in the president in water got here.

each bank in the shop contains coffee from a particular growing area none of the blends are mixed so customers who pay higher prices for coffee here can see where that money's going. yet this awareness of fair trade is still read. at this protestant school in berlin 2 of the senior classes have set out to raise that awareness in the free trade shop in the city's punker district been preparing their campaign for weeks dannielle smart ok good morning everyone this is the last cross before the big. i would like to spray the back. of. a carrot mob is akin to a flash mob where volunteers meet in one place to draw attention to a particular topic in this case a world shop selling fair trade products the students are keen to speak out for people in developing countries fair trade zone as that. does what it says it means

that producers are fairly paid for what they sell to traders in germany and elsewhere who then resell the products that we got a call from they're going out with us. alfy exactly. i want the people who supply us with products those who farm them from their fields and we want those people to be able to live and work properly on the slim coming on. the carrotmob spends the entire day pushing the world shopping. i know it would you like to stop by a welsh oh. yeah. one bag we also have the carrots and chop. the real life no maybe not a carrot a truck it would be nice. in one fairly easy. but how can you be sure the products you are buying are really fair when it comes to coffee a fair trade seal provides

a 100 percent guarantee but for other products only some of the ingredients are fairly traded in chocolate for instance it's only the cocoa the berlin students also discuss issues with coffee experts that go beyond fair trade. in regard to what extent is climate change affecting your production or you having problems. peruvian explains that his compadre it's no longer growing coffee at an elevation of a 1000 meters above sea level because it gets too warm he says they're having to cite new plantations much higher in the mountains. before you go. but in spite of these new precious fairtrade can act as a cushion for social problems. i spent 6 years on this product not extreme but i know that difference can send a kid to school it's mitigated by. not only does fair trade ensure that producers have more money in their pockets the co-operative in uganda is also fundamentally

improving the social conditions in its villages. it supports this state school for . for example. the co-operative members have invested part of their fair trade burnishes in the school. should be repaired and teaching materials purchased. that would back out that is when we have. the crowds and for 2 hours a week all the children can now learn about agronomy. their young teacher tells them about ecologically friendly sustainable agriculture . if you plan to shop and that includes coffee growing. wheat i used to follow yes i knew a lot of the like oh are used to far yet. we came into corporate from the ways this called for one. produce article product review new one to give

back to the community is sick and we have more fun for you because foreign. media we have but then there was this school because the b.b.c. wisely decided one could. resume in the more resources and the only way to make it come up was to do their part in the here and the really advanced in their community . funded by the co-operative the school has also been able to buy a plot of land and create a model plantation there where the children can find out about organic farming experts from the coffee factory regularly come to give practical lessons. you don't realise they did it for the trees and someone there are white. well i was relieved this is one of the off the stool this.

is. filled with food. that's what. i'm the most troops to me. over it is general manager john newell garba attaches particular importance to children becoming aware of their responsibility to the whole of creation he repeatedly explains how farmers can get good yields of coffee even without using herbicides and pesticides. but he also worries about the long term development of agriculture the plantations are already feeling some changes. then. it's the wrong guy but you know. we don't know when the 3 with. the rainy season was once a reliable factor in the lives of the coffee farmers now weather is becoming increasingly unpredictable. tent has been set up in the courtyard

of the coffee factory for the conference. the a.b.c. p.c. you could walk pretty annual general meeting takes place at the end of the harvest season. asking why opens the conference. more than 100 delegates from all the village cooperatives will spend the next 3 days here if. all decisions are taken by democratic vote john knew well garber has to present his annual report here his job also depends on the balance sheet he spent his life working in n.g.o.s experience he's used to steer the co-operative to success. this might need to be ordered to. their board was a response both. of. us were to would

bring the. cortex into the organisers when you're playing them which probably in my mind if. my brother was now under this system or. we had we separated the money dementor from $1.00 that's not what will was about 2 years ago at its general meeting the organization also decided to build its own health station next to the factory. all the way to health station is now up and running. the members of the co-operative and their families can take advantage of it for a small fee. good medical care is rare and expensive in uganda. but now cooperative members have an important context person and advisor on the spot

a doctor who can examine patients and prescribed medicines and treatment uganda has one of the world's highest rates of new age hiv infections tuberculosis a deep ola are also a big problem. in addition to the health station the co-operative has funded many other facilities from the additional benefits of fair trade. that also benefits marian and sam and their family if. they run a modern farm or peroration. they get financial accounting and tax support. and they. use only natural substances and methods basically they have an organic farm.

mix that they fight. it also includes the. amount and their value because. of the practicing organic coffee. in the water what they did to hide the money for going to products yeah so that's why we say that let us turn from or color out organic funding as you've been there in the field seeing . ready ready to it someday the coffee picking season in uganda is coming to an end to the trade has once again paid off marion and sam and their 4 children came to church together even the youngest who is studying in compound is back home.

john no one campbell is among the dignitaries solemnly entering the chant. of the she doesn't see the co-operative as a christian company but as one in a christian environment that's why it cooperates closely with g e p a in germany. both preaches the story of david and goliath this sunday. it was the wisdom embedded in the david this who they might their board who enabled him to achieve that victory over the glorious and we kind of use the same principles to make way for that even when we are small with a good excuse on the priming we can with with what our core business does we can

outwit the detainees in the market and we can outwit the climate issues we can with the other seeings that has been humping is. their progress on the cross or for a member from. the service everyone celebrates the season success. marian and simon happy about their 400 euro business everyone's and well they'll probably reinvest some of the money in their own communities where some are still much worse off than the fair trade fauna.
