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. But, the good thing about Fair Trade Coffee is that when Fair Trade buys the coffee from the farmers, they are paying them more per pound.

Starbucks does get a lot of it's coffee beans from fair trade sources. To be fair trade certified though, I belive the percentage of fair trade products needs to be higher than Starbucks currently achieves .

It really depends on your tastes in coffee- also, you should make an effort to buy fair trade and shade grown coffee where possible. Starbucks actually sells environmentally sustainable coffee, but the cheapest place will be your local grocery store.
Does Starbucks work with fair trade?
"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.

How has Starbucks dealt with the issues it faces in international market?
Starbucks was accused of exercising unfair control over international coffee bean trade. In 2006, BBC reported that Starbucks pressured NCA or National Coffee Association to halt the trademark efforts of Ethiopian coffee beans, thereby denying Ethiopian farmers more than $80 million in earnings annually. Starbucks CEO Jim Donald and Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi had talks about the matter in November 2006, but the problem has yet to be solved. Starbucks then attempted to promote 'fair trade' by using coffee grown by farmers in third world nations. The company plans to buy one million pounds of this coffee at 'competitive' prices in its supposedly altruistic efforts to improve the living standards of third-world coffee farmers. This move is controversial, however, because this third-world coffee makes up a tiny fraction of the chain's total coffee import. Anti-Starbucks protesters say that it "seems that Starbucks can give much more than it offers."
