Our journey started over twenty-five years ago when we were one of the first fairly traded coffee companies to buy directly from Latin American farmer associations.
Café Etico is a social enterprise created by CoDevelopment Canada Association more than twenty-five years ago to help support its work in Latin America upholding organizations and activists struggling for women’s rights, labour rights, the right to public education and respect for educators.
Café Etico is proud of its close relationship with its two major partners, La Cooperativa Flor de Pancasán and Flor de Dalia Cooperativa de Servicios Multiples, one of the first fair trade coffee companies to buy directly from Latin American farmer associations; and today, we continue to pay farmer co-operatives at least 20% over the fair trade minimum.
