Starbucks is cutting back on the amount of Fairtrade coffee it sells in the UK in a new blow to the Fairtrade Foundation.
The US-based coffee shop chain told Fairtrade at a meeting late last year that it will be reducing the amount of coffee it purchases from Fairtrade suppliers.
It is understood that Starbucks will retain its Fairtrade supplies for certain blends of coffee but has axed relationships with other suppliers.
