Caribbean Goods import green coffee from Guatemala to the UK. Caribbean Goods describe their primary goal as being to “promote completely transparent trading, ensuring truly ethical coffee.” They achieve this by buying directly from farmers and paying them a better price than if an intermediary was used. “Caribbean Goods was founded with the dream of making coffee farming in Guatemala fair for the hardworking farmers who produce it”. CarribeanGoods operate a tree planting scheme and have inested in several green initiatives. Some of the farmers Carribean Goods work with utilize innovative sustainable practices, like “using vermicompost rather than traditional fertilizers, keeping the endemic trees of the region rather than removing them, planting specific trees to create a shadow for coffee, and sing water treatment plants to lower the PH of water after washing the coffee”.
