The direct and fair trade model is at the core of the BLACK FUEL TRADING CO. lifestyle where connection and dialogue leads to the spread of creativity and ideas. Fair trade coffee is produced under certified standards meaning trading partnerships are based on transparent, open relationships between the farmers and importers. The result of this leads to better working conditions for the farmers, better compensation, sustainability and better coffee.
Most small-scale coffee producers do not have access to credit due to the remote farming locations. Often times intermediators take advantage of this situation and offer credit-limited farmers cash at a fraction of the price. Under fair trade coffee standards farmers are guaranteed a premium price for their product. Furthering this concept, the specialty coffee beans in all BLACK FUEL TRADING CO. blends come from direct-trade relationships with the farmers themselves. Direct trade removes all middlemen, which results in long-term relationships with the farmers. When the farmers are paid a fair income they can then invest in higher-quality production, which then results in a better bean.
