Summary
The study investigates the effects of Fairtrade and Organic certification on coffee farmers in Ethiopia. The authors analyse survey data from producers, data on prices offered to producers by cooperatives, and data from coffee export transactions, using Regression and PSM. The authors conclude that although there are significant quality premiums attached to VSS certification at the export level, only one-third of the quality premium at the export level is directly transmitted to producers. In terms of child labor they find no significant differences between certified and non-certified producers.
