German term

bewusste Preise

Non-PRO German to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
I can't think of a suitable English translation for "bewusste Preise" (apart from, for example, carefully calculated prices, which I'm not sure is suitable) - can anyone come up with any ideas?

In the following extract from a text dealing with various products from the Bolivian rainforest (Brazil nuts, teak, cocoa beans)

Wirtschaftliche Aspekte:

- globale Paranussproduktion 23.000 – 25.000 t/Jahr
- 70 – 80 % davon aus Bolivien
- 70 % davon allein aus dem Bundesland Pando
- Der Paranussbaum ist die wirtschaftlich bedeutendste Pflanze im Amazonasbecken
> 6.300 Haushalte in Pando sind von der Paranuss-Wildernte abhängig
> 15.000 Sammler
- Ernte Dezember bis April
- faire und bewusste Preise für die Rohware.

Thanks for any help!
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

agree Maria S. Loose, LL.M. : In this context (fair trade), "responsible" seems a good solution.
