On April 26, representatives from Equal Exchange met with the USDA and presented their concerns and their petition about the recent ruling for certification of farm cooperatives. As we expected, this isn't over yet. The USDA assured the Equal Exchange team that they have heard from organic advocates "loud and clear" and that in "two or three days" they would issue a statement that they thought would make us "happy". Watch this space - we haven't lost our coffee yet.
