	Small coffee farmers from Tanzania discuss benefits of fair trade
		According to Raymond Kimaro of the Kilimanjaro Native Cooperative Union (KNCU), the outlook for the thousands of small coffee farmers who are members of this cooperative at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is bleak.
		In desperation, many small coffee farmers at KNCU are trying to decrease their reliance on coffee by searching out alternative sources for income generation; cutting down the coffee bushes to provide more area for grass space for grazing animals, bananas, or other cash crops, Mr.
		KNCU is a large and established cooperative which sells about 10 to 15 percent of its produce to the fair trade market in Europe and the U.S. primarily, and which sells the remaining coffee beans to the conventional market with its much lower prices.

		One of the farmer cooperatives that Equal Exchange buys coffee from is the Kilimanjaro Native Cooperative Union (KNCU) in Tanzania, East Africa.
		The coffee sold by KNCU to Equal Exchange is imported into the United States, roasted, and sold in 12-ounce packages of Tanzanian Jubilee drip-grind and whole-bean coffee.
		Because coffee farmers on Kilimanjaro have very small farms (usually a half-acre to two acres) that produce 100 to 200 pounds of coffee, "even drinking one cup of fair-trade coffee can make a difference for them," said Ulomi.
