The fair trade logo means that the coffee was made without exploiting the producers so that most likely the producers would have a co-op or some other collective type of organization in which they would prepare the coffee and be paid a fair wage. I helped to import some fair trade organic coffee from Guatemala to Canada a few years ago. Fair trade and organic usually go together as the producers stress quality rather than just volume.
