Committed Fair Trade at Café Rico

The CAFÉ RICO brand is a guarantee that producers are paid a fair price, at the very least the one established by fair trade certification organizations such as Transfair in Canada. But it is also a commitment to pay a supplemental bonus to southern producers. It is the guarantee that a credit is paid in advance to producers for the harvests to come.

It is the guarantee of a commitment to share our expertise with producers, to offer them equipment, technical support and training to boost their self-reliance. It is a commitment to respect the cultural identity and independence of the producing partners.

It is the guarantee of a constant effort to increase public awareness of responsible consumption and to encourage activities that promote the respect of natural resources and the environment.

Our Mission
Café Rico is a fair trade leader in Quebec. Many have followed in its footsteps, but there is much still to be done to help our southern partners emerge from poverty. Café Rico practices COMMITTED fair trade to spur a real movement in favour of producers' interests.

On-site Roasting
Café Rico is the first 100% fair trade coffee roasting plant in Quebec. It is also an on-site roasting shop located on Rachel Street East in Montréal, right next to Lafontaine Park. Its reputation rests on: the quality of the coffee, the director's credibility in his fair commercial relationship with southern producers and the competitive prices.
