Overview: Fair Trade attempts to address the poverty issues of small Southern producers through the payment of a ?Fair price? for their goods and the provision of support services for producer organisations. Although Fair Trade is overwhelmingly identified with the ?fair price? paid by participating importers and buyers, sketching the possible avenues of impact reveal that many of the effects of Fair Trade on the quality of life of producers are felt through the organisational development supported by Fair Trade organisations. This study examines the impact of 10 years of Fair Trade in coffee in Costa Rica and reveals the importance of organizational development support for the stakeholders of the nine Costa Rican coffee co-operatives.
