No. Contra Caf&eacute is not certified Fair Trade coffee. However, Contra Café does pay its producers more than the established Fair Trade price. Fair Trade pays $1.26 per pound for conventional and $1.41 per pound for organic coffee. Contra Café pays $1.50 per pound for a mix of conventional and organic coffee. More importantly, Contra Café donates a portion of profits back to the cooperative for development projects.
