"Here we are expressing that the consumer's will ideally purchase "Fare-Trade" coffee because of the benefits for migrant workers."
Is the "s" after consumer a genitiv "s"? im Sinne der Übersetzung: "Der Wunsch des Verbrauchers"? Wenn dem so ist, wäre die Übersetzung holperig: "Hiermit drücken wir aus, dass der Wunsch des Verbrauchers im Idealfall "Fare-Trade" Kaffee erwirbt..." Müsste man es so übersetzen: ....dass der Wunsch des Verbrauchers darin besteht, im Idealfall...?
Warum heißt es dann nicht im englischen ...that the consumer's will ideally is to purchase...?

    Why is there an apostrophe "s" behind the word consumer?
