In its first part the paper provides the overview of actual state of the global coffee market, the description of price creation process, value and supply chain and overview of fair trade area. It is followed by research that focuses on coffee cultivation and trade in El Salvador and analysis of Salvadorian production of fair trade coffee. During the research were used primary and secondary data such as outcomes of the interviews with cooperative’s representatives, data provided by Salvadorian coffee council and data published by organizations UN, WTO and ICO.
