Range and availability

in the know

The main varieties of coffee are arabica and robusta. Arabica has a mild taste and is generally used for ground coffee. Robusta is stronger in taste and is used mainly for instant coffee.

In 2003, Fairtrade producer groups are receiving three times the international price for robustas and double the international price for arabicas.
