Resumo
Este artigo contribui para o processo de tomada de decisão dos stakeholders da cafeicultura certificada fairtrade do Brasil. Faz um posicionamento amplo e atual sobre o cenário da certificação fairtrade na cafeicultura do Brasil. Foi desenvolvido por meio de revisão bibliográfica e entrevistas em instituições ligadas à certificação no Brasil. Seus principais resultados indicam que: i) metade das cooperativas de cafeicultores do Brasil se certificaram entre 2009 e 2015; ii) em poucas cooperativas estão concentrados a maior parte dos cafeicultores e das vendas de café fairtrade do Brasil; iii) pesquisas científicas brasileiras apontam que a certificação tem contribuído para a melhoria da gestão das propriedades e para a internacionalização dos negócios; iv) literatura internacional indica vantagens, mas também problemas na distribuição dos benefícios e muitos casos onde os impactos da certificação para a cafeicultura foram irrisórios. Ainda não é possível afirmar se a certificação fairtrade está ou não atingindo seus objetivos no contexto agregado da cafeicultura do Brasil.
