Problems with coffee/cacao trade Do you know the word "Fair Trade"? The current global nation 's structure of trade sometimes expands unfair poverty. Fair trade started as another form of trade to eliminate economic disparities. In this way, today fair trade is believed to be good. However, it also has a downside, for instance the lowest price of fair trade, deal as an industrial association, and overproduction. After this, I will say about these problems and solutions. First, the lowest price of fair trade should be raising higher than the international price. The lowest price of certified products by fair trade obviously be lowest than the international price.

A condition of fair trade 's producers is to form an association, to do democratic activities, to keep to the regulations of International Labor Convention. However, it exists the structure of exploitation in the industrial association, terminal commercial farms can 't get appropriate money. For this reason, they should deal positively to global company regardless the industrial association. For successful example to rescue poor famers, it is known the company "Oramu". Oramu is not authenticated as fair trade. But it gave famers 4 dollars per kilogram. Since they deal to Oram, they received 1.38 dollars or not more than 1 dollar. The price given by Oram is higher than the international price. It provided a safe and healthy work environment to farmers in Cote d 'lvoire.

In 2001, People positively a campaign of fair trade. Around the same time, wholesale price catastrophically has fallen. It caused by oversupply of coffee beans. From the last 1990 's to 2005, the international price of coffee fall into the bottomless pit. Its principal factor is to be glutted with coffee beans made in Viet Nam or Brazil. Therefore, the market of coffee beans was carried out distribution restraint in1962. This distribution restraint is called International Coffee Agreement, for short ICA. ICA is a kind of International Commodity Agreement, started in 1962. Exactly, it is aims to prevent the collapse of the coffee beans price and assure stability by assigning the export the country that produce coffee beans and artificially confining amount of coffee beans in circulation at the international market. A sharp drop in coffee prices from 1987 to 1991 are caused by the termination of operations. The supply of Viet Nam and drop in coffee prices have a correlation. On the contrary, when the price is raising, it suffers from frost. So, we are probably safe in thinking "the balance of the receipt affects the price". Today farmers produce coffee beans more than ten million bags, compared to the needs of the world. It is efficient to opt out of coffee production, and to make provisions. In conclusion, fair trade has bad sides even though we look on good sides of fair trade. It all depends to stop the campaign
Reciprocity and free trade are two distinct debates which has occurred at separate periods throughout Canadian history. Both are periods in which the Canadian and U.S. governments attempted to broker a deal which would lower tariff walls and allow good to move smoothly between the countries. Reciprocity occurred in 1911 when the Prime Minister Laurier attempted to implement free trade with the U.S. Free Trade is prominently in terms of the 1980’s in which the government under Brian Mulroney wished to once again implement a free trade deal with the U.S. in 1911 free trade was defeated and the government of Robert Borden won an election on the issue. In 1988 once again an election was held on the issue of free trade, this time it was successful and implemented following the election. Free trade has had a very significant history within Canada.

A few years ago in 1807, congress had passed the Embargo Act, an act that forbids foreign trade.

We started with $109,000,000 and ended with $25,000,000.Thousands of Americans have turned to smuggling. The Embargo has trigger a serious Economic Depression and not much can save us right now.

Protectionism is coming to us from all directions, and numerous nations are using both direct and indirect barriers to trade, as when they require to do so. What economists mostly talk about are the threats of protectionism, rather than its benefits and how protectionism isn’t a long term solution. By now we have understood that protectionism, whether we like it or not, is used in certain economic situation by every other country, but it shouldn’t be seen as a permanent solution. Protectionism is a superficially convincing concept, because we can immediately point out the number of jobs saved, lesser no of imports etc. but it slightly more difficult to see the benefits of free trade in numbers, but one country’s protectionist policies will not just hurt their trading countries exports.
Haitian coffee export quantum has steadily declined from 35,000 tons per year a century ago to less than 20,000 tons per year in the late 1970s and 1980s.
