The King of Thailand presented the hilltribes with agricultural alternatives to opium growing, including coffee plants. One indigenous tribe known as the Akha was the beneficiary of this scheme. A Canadian chose to back the Akha people 100% in this venture.Thanks to to his generosity in giving the growers a 50% share in the Canadian company, 'Fair Trade' has since evolved into 'Beyond Fair Trade'--a noteworthy business model to emulate in terms of sustainability and sound ethics.-P.

@fitbiscuit Starbucks was pressured to buy a bit of fair trade coffee, but bought very little. it was just for show. and now people have the misconception of thinking starbucks is fair trade. it's not.
your an idiot. This video explains the difference and it has nothing to do with taste because it's grown the same retard. Take your 4 dollar a cup of starbucks and buy yourself a clue
This guy is the perfect example of why these causes never go as far as they should. Why are you going to sit there and vilify people who disagree with you politically, knowing full well it completely turns them off to your cause. Typical liberal banter. Instead of taking cheap shots, why not just talk about the benefits of OFT and not make half of the audience feel persecuted?
its wrong how these local shops go out of buisness because of these stupid fortune 500 companies who could give a crap, nice documentary Pete, opens peoples eyes
Try DOI CHAANG who went beyond simple Fairtarde and doubled the price they paid the farmers...and then gave them half the Canadian company!!
