We've just received word that Starbucks and Ethiopia have finalized an agreement that ends their trademark dispute and brings both sides together in partnership to help Ethiopian farmers. This agreement has the potential to give these farmers a fair share of the profits for their world-renowned coffees, and it's what Oxfam has been pushing for since November. This is a personal thank you from Oxfam America President Raymond C. Offenheiser and some of the Ethiopian coffee farmers who could benefit from this agreement.

  • Hi. I'm a high school teacher in France and I'd like to use the audio to your video for a listening activity in one of my English classes about fair trade, if that's ok with you. Thanks a lot in advance.

  • Hey well great...that's Ethiopians economy sorted out and we are all free to buy our favourite flavoured milk (there may be traces of actual coffee in this product, but we can't actually guarantee it!)to the immense profit of our favoured MacCorporation...no-profits were harmed in the production of this advert..errh! I mean public information video...

  • TRADE is based on money; and for those of you who lacks knowledge of how International Trade functions you will be easily deceived into thinking that Fair Trade is the solution for poverty.They know your weaknesses.

    REMEMBER QUID PRO QUO is the law of how BUSINESS operates; OLIGARCHY is the perfect way to control TRADES; The media permits NGO &QUANGO to PROSELYTISE corporate psychopath doctrines... If You really want to help the poor, then TELL THE RICH TO REMOVE THE TRADE PROTECTION TARIFFS.

  • wow
