So than isn't the higher Fair Trade price being offset by the lower
yield of Organic coffee?

Not necessarily.

If it's 90% of the yield but gets 120% of the price it's better. If
it's 80% of the yield but 110% of the price it's worse. Wildly
speculating whether (less than) x (more than) is more or less than is
a pretty pointless exercise.
