No, I don't know what it costs to use the logo. There are also several organisations with different Bio logos, and they have different standards. Same with Fair Trade.
But first of all, the product has to meet the requirements that entitle it to have the logos. That means a higher price at the coffee trader desks of course. To cut out the middleman, some buy directly from coffee farmer collectives in South America. That allows a better control of quality standards as well as a even fairer price for the farmers.
However, I think today this is a must, if you want to sell expensive coffee to people who look for something special.

Thanks again for your feedback. I will have a beery meeting with the coffee guy the next days.
