Having read opinionated material by the likes of Geoff Watts, the Fairtrade industry article in Junes edition of BeanScene left me a question about Fairtrade Premiums;
Do farmers pay the coops they belong to 10cents per pound; or have I misread it (perhaps the Premium is paid on top of the minimum by the buyer, and depends on various factors)? This section is written using a somewhat abstruse and recondite style - perhaps this was intended if my first conjecture is correct.
Clarity on the matter would be much appreciated,
cheers
