Key Points
- Organic coffee certification does not guarantee the absence of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, as certain approved chemicals can still be used.
- Many high-quality, environmentally-friendly coffee farms cannot afford the expensive certification process, making it misleading to equate certified organic with superior quality or ethical practices.
- Large-scale coffee producers often benefit more from organic certification than small, artisanal farmers, who may face financial ruin from the associated costs.
