| | Folgers Campaign History |
 | | This worldwide coffee crisis threatens to ruin an entire generation of families and is causing problems such as malnutrition in Nicaragua, rural unrest in Mexico, and increased drug cultivation in Colombia. |
 | | While Procter & Gamble makes over $1 billion on Folgers annually, the average coffee farmer made about $300. |
 | | At the P&G shareholder meeting on October 9, 2001, Global Exchange called on Folgers, the largest coffee brand in the US, to immediately begin offering its consumers the choice to buy "Fair Trade certified" coffee. |
