a bit on the scene of sufficient can you enjoy coffee with a clear conscience many coffee drinkers are trying to. help the best since i think will be a very important topic for young people in the future and that we should grow up making sure we buy fair trade products used to trade it to like coffee. anyone 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 company well you don't think that trade since we're trying to trade my income has more than doubled in the navy outta. here.

an early july morning in southern uganda this mountainous area lies between a 101500 metres above sea level conditions are ideal for coffee cultivation. after many kilometers on dirt roads you reach marion with singles ease 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 have 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 ripe. marion has around 600 coffee plants because she can't harvest all that alone i don't feel 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 the work together. we pay the city hall and power buttons were having $6.00 was what we appear on the. on the other us they're going to help us. because we are

competitors they want to rip us in picking for the whole of this week and then another week me and my family we're also going to. no. during the harvest season from june to september everything takes place on the plantations. you wanting to warmer. we took away the 1st came across coffee growing when i got married 20 years ago. while my husband sam's family was well known carter 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. you this unites all village cooperatives within a radius of almost 100 kilometers they sell their coffee to fair trade

organizations some of which are located 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 is. ready. your pick when they are ready or regular red we've we've ordered. what you said it's the. that's the that's one then this one has its own place. i'm all for hasn't since the premium.

it also has its own. marion is guaranteed the equivalent of just under a euro per kilo of harvested beans 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 so every year she wait eagerly for the additional bonus and it's all all. still the proceeds from fair trade in prophecy provide the family was previously unthinkable opportunities the money to send the kids to school for instance. for. we are we have money they didn't have money to buy another place for blood. or you know we have we are cutting old other end up like that example of what i have and

now that god in what we have not to reach there but the of broken the 600 or 3 c's now with the boat before our. farmers in the remote valleys store their harvested coffee beans in their own warehouses this work used to be done by middlemen who were of course paid fair trade cuts out the middleman and the money stays in the farmer's hands. see. this truck is carrying 3 bags from marion's plantation each of the white sacks contain 60 kilos of dried coffee beans. they'll now be processed in this factory which belongs to the co-operative. 3 years ago it's 9500

members invested part of their businesses in its construction. that created new jobs for a dozen workers at least for a few months a year. the coffee beans the cleveland peeled and salted by machine. the quality of the raw coffee is crucial as are the appearance and size of the beans we called or 3rd. part of their course. for the troops there were a few so that's why we thought to dictate what if this is and we will move in keurig the role of the court for the for the pharmacy for over the earth in there but with of addictive process in fix would that at this or how start a part of the. food. years ago at the beginning of fair trade its

supporters had to compromise on quality. but their trade has long since been delivering good flavor with a 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 a 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 will garba 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. there are no farm. receipts or now we see to in order to make a difference. and. we are divided. on payday the coffee farmers can get their money immediately. the bank counter has

been set up in the dark to pay it out in cash the bank is also part of the co-operative. the co-operative guarantee that is the 1st payment is it still under suze 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. the thermal or bio shock of the pressure month.

to trading partner in this case is the artist and largest fair trade organization in europe germany's 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 world g 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. to pre-packed coffee in uganda will only 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 for the sake of her 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. cod if you . trade 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 of coffee i don't the president in the water got here. each bag 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 done else ok good morning everyone this is the last class before the big. warm. i would like to spray the bags. a carrot maul basic into

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 and. fair trade 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. they're going to as if that's the. ok exactly. i don't 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 income and on this alberts. the carrotmob spends the entire day pushing the world shoppin. i know it would you like to stop by oh well charlie. yeah. well that we also have the

carrots and chop. the real buffet like no maybe not a carriage a truck it would be nice i live in one for eliezer. 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 women 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 woman she says that having to cite new plantations much higher in the mountains. we go for it with. but in spite of

these new precious fairtrade can act as a cushion for a social problem. i spent 6 years on this product not 3 but i know that difference can send a kid to school it's me give my. national leaders fair trade ensure that produces house 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 baroness's in the school that really should be repaired teaching materials purchased. that were better than this one here. are 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. you

plan to show and that includes coffee growing. wheat i used to find out i knew a lot of the like oh are used to farm yet. we came into corporation with this quote for kid reason one. of course producers corporately union want to give back to the community is sick and we have more from the for you because you're in. siberia we have but then there was this school because the b.c. was they decide to bunk with the school resuming the more resources and the only way to make it come up was to do their part in the heap. really advance in the community. funded by the co-operative the school has also been able to buy a plot of land and create a model of plantation net where the children can find out about organic farming

experts from the coffee factory regularly come to give practical mess of this. thing. you don't realize they did it or that and someone said i was way. why waste believe this is one of the healthy just this. is. so good to move forward well that's what. i'm the most truth to. the truth here is your 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. in these things it's the wrong guy books that have been out since we don't know when it's

already with. the rainy season was once a reliable factor in the lives of the coffee farmers now weather is becoming increasingly unpredictable. attend has been set up in the courtyard of the coffee factory from a conference. to a c.p.c. you cooperatives annual general meeting takes place at the end of the harvest season. asking why opens the conference. if. 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 newer 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 cooperatives to success. or money to. originated. their board was responsible for. their own mental or. were too would bring in and then in the. cortex into the organisation you're playing them with probably in my mind if. my brother was now under this system of. rehab we separate the money de mint from one that's not what will it was. 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. organic certified and it also includes the day they did 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 to inform or or color out organic funding as you've been there in the fields

ready. it's sunday the coffee picking season in uganda is coming to an end and fair trade has once again paid off marian and sam and their 4 children going to church together even the oldest he's studying in compound is back home. john newell gamble is among the dignitaries solemnly entering the chant. of the key justin sees a 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. preaches the story of david and goliath this sunday. it was the with dawn embedded in the david this who there might be aboard who enabled him

to achieve that victory of our glorious do we use the same principles to make we afford that even when we are small with a good excuse on the priming we can with with what our computer does so we can outwit the detainees in the market and we can outwit the climate issues we can with the other things that have been humping in their progress on the growth of our member from month. to the service everyone celebrates the seas. and success. that. marion and simon happy about their $400.00 euro vanished everyone's and well they'll probably reinvest some of the money in their own communities quest some are still much more soft than the fair trade fama.
