Otacuschez has made a commitment to provide you with fair trade coffee and tea through an alliance with Equal Exchange, a worker-owned cooperative linking farmers in Latin America, Africa and Asia, and helping them stay on their land, support their families, plan for the future, and care for the environment.

We will help you make a difference

By buying the Equal Exchange Fair Trade coffee, tea that we sell at Otacuschez, you are contributing to the well being of farmers.  An average 13 Riyals Caffe Latte delivers less than 10 Halalas back to farmers on non-Fair Trade farms.  By linking directly with markets, farmers in Fair Trade cooperatives are able to earn 3 to 5 times more than they would receive by selling their coffee through conventional means

 Fair Trade cooperatives fund schools and basic medical care for families, and provide farmers with opportunities for economic independence.

Farmers producing for both fair trade and the organic markets receive not only higher prices for their coffee, tea and cocoa, but also benefit from a more secure, and growing market, while consumers are making small investments in preserving biodiversity and maintaining the environmental integrity of plantations.
