CAFE DIRECT INSTANT COFFEE
For a cup that’s easy to make but full of real coffee bean flavour, Cafe Direct have created Classics Medium Roast. A high quality, delicious instant coffee made from a unique blend of Arabica and Robusta beans from all 26 of their coffee growing partners around the world. The beans are now roasted a little longer than before, giving a smooth full-bodied taste with delicious hints of caramel sweetness.
Cafédirect instant coffees are 100% Fairtrade. This means that their products are all certified by the Fairtrade Labelling Organisation (FLO) and meet the criteria for paying a fair price to growers. In fact, Cafédirect go beyond the Fairtrade criteria and have a unique pricing structure.
Fairtrade minimum prices for unroasted green coffee beans are as follows:
• Arabica coffee Fairtrade price: 131 US cents/lb
• Arabica organic coffee Fairtrade price: 151 US cents/lb
• Robusta coffee Fairtrade price: 111 US cents/lb
• Robusta organic coffee Fairtrade price: 131 US cents/lb
Whenever the market price goes beyond these minimum prices, Fairtrade stipulates to pay the market price plus 5 US cents/lb premium. Cafédirect go a bit further: they take the market price and pay the growers this price plus an extra 10% premium.
What’s more, their Gold Standard policy also ensures that a significant amount of their profits is reinvested into Producer Partnership Programmes. From 2003 to 2006 they reinvested on average 60% of their profits.

Rising Prices Good News for Coffee Farmers
Coffee prices took a major dive in the second half of 2008 but are now rising again. The long term projected uptrend is also good news. Prices are now (September 2009) stabilising around and above the 3$ per kilo mark, having plummeted to near 2.50$ per kilo in the early part of 2009.
Demand for Arabica beans is expected to grow at a faster pace than for Robusta. The move by companies such as McDonald's, Maxwell House and Dunkin Doughnuts to use only Arabica beans for their coffee is indicative of a reversal in the trend towards cheaper robusta coffee from traditional Arabica varieties, which started in the 1990s.
