| Abstract: | This study explores the distribution of benefits from Fair Trade (here as: FT.) btw. producing and consuming countries. FT. and conventional coffee production and trade are examined in Nicaragua in 2005-2006 and 2008. Consumption of the respective coffees is evaluated in Finland from 2006 to 2009. It is found that consumers paid notably more for FT.-certified coffee than for the other available alternatives. Despite FT. provided price premiums to producer organizations, a larger share of the retail prices remained in the consuming country relative to conventional coffee trade. |
