What would happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee if the wages of coffee-bean pickers fell and the price of tea fell?

If the wages of coffee-bean pickers fell, coffee-bean companies would be able to hire more of them, because they could afford it. More workers can produce more coffee-beans, so supply increases. In this problem, it is implied that tea is a substitute good for coffee. If the price of tea fell, but the price of coffee stayed the same, people would switch to tea, to save a couple bucks. Demand for tea goes up, demand for coffee goes down.

Why does fair trade coffee cost more?

Fair Trade is supposed to pay fairer prices to individual growers, improving the economy in the (usually impoverished) regions where coffee is grown, passing that extra cost off to consumers. Tim Harford, an economist and a coffee lover, writes in his lovely book "The Undercover Economist", that fair trade coffee is often used as a means to allow coffee vendors to get customers to pay a higher price for their coffee. Branding coffee as "fair trade" allows them, while indeed paying a little more to the growers, to get a much higher price for a similar cup of coffee. Please see the related links for details.
