Cafédirect's coffee cup infographic

This picture shows a coffee cup with a heart latte art design divided into sections to visualise the amount of money paid to coffee producers. The information is as follows, price per USD/(lb): The current market price for coffee (04/05/2020) is $1.04, the Fairtrade Minimum Purchase Price is $1.40, the Fairtrade Premium is $1.60, the organic premium is $1.90, Producers Direct Investment is $2.13.

It’s an infographic that is not accessible and so we’re adding the description here to allow people who are not able to see it, to still gain the information that is in it.

This infographic shows a flow diagram of the stages involved in getting started with Faitrade.

First step, a yellow circle with a light bulb icon: You’ve got a great idea for a Fairtrade product with at least one Fairtrade ingredient.

Second step, a pink circle with a phone icon: Get in touch to discuss it. We’ll set you up with a licensing agreement, the right FAIRTRADE Mark and support finding Fairtrade suppliers. You might need certification from FLOCERT too.

Third step, a blue circle with clipboard icon showing ticked check boxes: Use our custom portal CONNECT to submit product and packaging information and artwork.

Fourth step, an orange circle with icons of four people from the torso up: Our dedicated customer service team will check and approve everything.

Fifth step, a green circle with a thumbs up icon: Congratulations! Your Fairtrade product is ready to go.
