FERT Bruno contact photographer • BOLIVIA: 10 years of fare trade coffee.
Between 1998 and 2001, coffee lost 68% of its value in the New York Stock Exchange. The prices of the coffee fell below production costs.
During this period, while the coffee brands gathered considerable profits, small producers were reduced to living on their savings and taking out loans to meet their essential needs. In these conditions of survival, the families were no longer able to finance the studies of their children or to invest in their businesses.
Fare trade organizations propose to the producers to guarantee a minimum price in order to free them from the fluctuation of the stock exchange.
In the Bolivian region of Yungas, many small coffee producers have been experimenting with fare trade for more than 10 years.
