Doesn’t the law require the wage changes all the way down the chain though? Not just the roaster but also the farm and plantation workers?
The roasters I’ve talked to all say the same thing. They buy from brokers and the big guys can buy from the farms. The only people who can make the change on farms having living wages are the brokers and major corporations but they are completely protected from this law.

I’m no expert on the law, but I assume you’re right.
Here in Belgium, there are many roasters who have partnerships directly with farms (OR Roasters, MOK, among others).
