What you should know about Peoples Coffee, Constable Street
Lauren considers the Peoples Coffee sponsored forum a real success and was surprised by the diversity of those in attendance something she had hoped for but not banked on. It’s what it’s all about connecting with different people within your community and talking about issues that you can never tackle alone. ’. Lauren says her Punishment in Modern Society’ paper has been the most meaningful so far. The girl is pretty much a super hero in my book, though she’d hate me for saying it. We work with our producers well being in mind and aim to make ethical and sustainable decisions from crop to cup. But we also choose co ops that are organised in such a way that our trade will have a tangible positive impact on the sustainability of production, and on the lives and communities of the farmers who produce it. Peoples Coffee purchases green beans from Trade Aid Importers TAI , New Zealand’s largest green bean broker, who buy directly from the co operatives. Buying from a co op means we have great traceability we know who grew our coffee, where, how, and exactly how much they got paid. In order for any coffee to get to New Zealand, a farmer must sell, and a broker must buy, a whole container of coffee.
So small lot farmers, who might only produce 50 sacks a year, are unable to directly access the international export market without a middle man. As a coffee community, they can share a vision and have the means to develop it. OCFCU Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union are a smallholder coffee grower owned co operative based in Ethiopia. Among a host of excellent social development programmes OCFCU are dedicated to empowering women through enterprise. This approach is two fold in that it encourages more gender equality and protects families from being over reliant on the coffee trade. Higher incomes through fair trade sales are enabling CENFROCAFE farmers to diversify into the production of other agricultural crops reducing migration rates and helping to preserve indigenous culture.
LAYO TERAGA is made up of over 500 member smallholder farmers scattered about the staggering altitudes found in Uraga. We were introduced to the coffee trade in 2004 while searching for business models that could help us create positive social change. Our coffee is sourced exclusively from co operatives made up of small lot coffee farms in Ethiopia, Rwanda, Mexico, Guatemala, , Nicaragua, Colombia and Peru. Sales of Peoples Coffee also help with a number of local projects we’re invested in to improve the lives of marginalised New Zealanders
