The paper illustrates the problems connected with the production and consumption of coffee, with a particular emphasis on organic coffee production. Important differences are indicated between the production methods of organic coffee and of intensive cultivations. Attention is paid to the new rules governing the international coffee market, including the Fair Trade rules covering coffee production and trade. Organizations promoting organic production and Fair Trade rules in coffee trade are described. The experimental part comprises research results from a study in the Tri-City area dedicated to the knowledge of Fair Trade rules and organic coffee production.
