The ambivalent impact of coffee certification on farmers' welfare: A matched panel approach for cooperatives in Central Kenya (2016, background): “Some more quantitative data have been generated through comparative case studies of certified and non-certified farmers (Bacon, 2005; Jaffee, 2007) and sector-wide analyses that focused attention on price advantages and market shares of certified products (Raynolds & Wilkinson, 2007).”
An empirical examination of the relationship between business strategy and socially responsible supply chain management (2013, background): “Nonetheless, recent evidence suggests that competitive and cost pressures are forcing firms to pursue low-cost strategies with potentially negative consequences for their socially responsible behaviour (Barrientos and Smith, 2007).”
Trust, legitimacy and power in forest certification: A case study of the FSC in British Columbia (2012, background): “Most of the research on this shift has been focused on agrofood networks and fair trade, where it is seen as the result of mainstreaming certification to suit buyer-driven supply chains (e.g. Dolan, 2010; Hudson and Hudson, 2003; Raynolds et al., 2007).”
Corporate cooptation of organic and fair trade standards (2010, unknown): “This division was made in order to align the organization for ISO 65 certification (Raynolds et al. 2007: 19-20; Renard 2005: 425), which FLO-Cert eventually achieved in October 2007.”
Impacts of Fair Trade certification on coffee farmers, cooperatives, and laborers in Nicaragua (2010, background): “…by product standards related to the cleanliness of the beans and the taste of the brewed coffee, nowadays the negotiations over coffee quality include an array of process standards related to the conditions under which coffee is produced and traded (Raynolds et al. 2004; Raynolds et al. 2007).”
The Impact of Fair Trade on Social and Economic Development: A Review of the Literature (2008, background): “The challenge of campaigning for change, at the same time, as operating within wholly commercial markets remains a central concern of the Fair Trade movement (Gent and Braithwaite 2005; Murray et al. 2006; Poncelet 2005; Raynolds et al. 2007).”
Indebted to Fair Trade? Coffee and crisis in Nicaragua (2010, background): “…Fair Trade played a vital role in increasing the capacity of Fair Trade cooperatives to export high quality coffee and to provide unique social services to their members – services that are otherwise unavailable either from conventional agribusiness or the Nicaraguan state (Raynolds et al., 2007).”
Explaining the 'hungry farmer paradox': Smallholders and fair trade cooperatives navigate seasonality and change in Nicaragua's corn and coffee markets (2014, background): “Previous research in Nicaragua and Latin America finds that smallholder poverty and farmer debt persist, though debates about causes remain (Bacon et al., 2008; Wilson, 2010; Beuchelt and Zeller, 2011).”
