@JamesCrisp6 Dear James, Someone must ask @vestager why @EU_Commission has never fined the largest coffee & cocoa companies that have a cartel in Switzerland. Coffee farmers are being paid now 1/4 of 1983 price. Perhaps, that is because these companies are owned by Europe's multibillionaires
Precio del café ahora $0.93 lb=26% del precio del Acuerdo Internacional de Café de 1983. Precio ICA 1983=$1.20- $1.40. $1.40 ajustado a la inflación= $3.61 lb! Multinacionales pagan a caficultores 74% menos q 1983=+miseria, +hambre, +desnutrición y +trabajoInfantil en coffeelands
¿OPEP del café? @fmdelac: "El café no se negocia en NY...70% del trading lo hacen en Suiza" "hay que pagar a los caficultores más del triple del precio actual...los productores tienen que organizarse en una especie de OPEP pero del café" @AFP por @moyavila https://t.co/7lKIKIJ3bP
My comments to @AFP "Coffee growers should be paid more than three times the current price""coffee producers need to organize an equivalent of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which sets its own prices & coordinates production" https://t.co/kpnCeKg7NC
.@AFP @fmdelac Il faut payer aux caféiculteurs plus du triple du prix actuel. Il faudrait que les pays producteurs de café s'organisent à l'image de l'Organisation des pays producteurs de pétrole (OPEP) afin de fixer les prix et de coordonner la production https://t.co/vnbl2whhbH
Dear @cafreeland, @JustinTrudeau's @G7 legacy could be to help end exploitation & child labor in coffee, cocoa & tea production. Multinationals pay struggling coffee farmers today <1/3 of the price of 1983. This cruel biz model increases misery & child labor. Share @10CentsPerCup
Dear @JPMillerSwitz, Since you need more coffee... This is an unreported Swiss fact abt coffee. Due to what some economists call Swissploitation, Switzerland has more children working in its supply chain of coffee, cocoa and tea than in all Swiss schools. @tgemiles@StephNebehay
Dear @HeidiHautala, In"your" @Europarl_EN cocoa mting Pls think, what u dare to call "Fairtrade" pays cocoa farmers <1/3 per tonne of amount needed to live with dignity. IMPOSSIBLE to eradicate poverty & child labor when @Trade_EU@MalmstromEU & "good" NGOs support exploitation!
.@alain_berset Coffee price reached US$100.75/100lbs. The greed of the #Swissploitation Club that controls the coffee industry has not limits. It believes in exploitation, modern day slavery & in the globalization of the "#verdingkinder"/#ChildLabor biz model to increase profits
Para el fundador de @CafeForChange, Fernando Morales-de la Cruz, el modelo de negocio actual es "neocolonial" y gran parte de la responsabilidad recae sobre la Unión Europea, principal importador de café en el mundo con tres millones de toneladas anuales https://t.co/MqeWW92CC5
Hilferuf aus Lateinamerika-Teurer Kaffee, bettelarme Bauern Während multinationale Kaffeeketten Milliardengewinne einfahren, droht Lateinamerikas Kaffeebauern der Absturz in die extreme Armut. Sie rufen um Hilfe von @TobiasKaeufer@ZDF https://t.co/kz0N5CqRsb @ElmarBrok_MEP
"El verdadero problema no es que el precio del café sea ahora de cerca de un dólar la libra, es que el precio actual es <1/3 del precio del café en 1983" dijo a AFP Morales-de la Cruz de @CafeForChange https://t.co/QVEK68Dtrc @jrestrp@MauricioCard@NestorOsorioL@vanessabusch
