In 1997, 67.92 tonnes of coffee certified by the NGO was sold in the grand duchy. By 2007, the number was 108.68 tonnes. And last year it rose to 328 tonnes.

Moecher was citing figures first published by Fairtrade Lëtzebuerg in March.

More on fair trade and organic coffee sales can be found in Delano’s June print magazine.

Correction: A previous version of this article mis-stated the year that 108.68 tonnes of fair trade coffee were sold in Luxembourg. It was 2007.
