"Fair Trade" Certification involves a very lengthy process and a lot of money given to a 3rd party (not the farmer or the purchaser) to earn the status of certified. So with the exception of Cafe Estima Blend, Starbucks coffee is not all fair trade certified....however it does meet all the requirements for certification. Starbucks gives the monetary support back to the farmers instead of giving it to a third party. The same facts apply to Starbucks organic coffee...there is one organic blend. the rest meet the requirements, until it is ground, but money is not wasted on the certification.

∙ 14y agoThe cost of making a single cup of coffee is under a penny, however there's overhead such as rent and wages to take into consideration. None of that really matters though because "fair" does not play a part in the equasion. The answer is age old and simple... Everything is worth what the purchaser will pay for it.

Well, first of all, Starbucks sells coffee, pastries, bagels etc.. They have been trying to go green for a while now, with recycled paper cups. Recently, Starbucks decided to use Fair Trade Coffee.Fair Trade Coffee is coffee that is produced by farmers who don't use pesticides, they grow their coffee naturally. They also usually don't make that much money, don't sell any of their products to big super markets like: Associated, Gourmet Garage etc.. Then Fair Trade buys their products and sells them to companies just like Starbucks.
