Many young people see the infamous logo on their chocolate bar, banana or coffee but do you actually know what it means. Fair trade is about giving producers a fair price for their products.
The fair trade foundation is an independent non-profit organisation that licenses use of the FAIRTRADE Mark on products in the UK in accordance with internationally agreed Fairtrade standards.
Buying Fairtrade means farmers and workers get a better deal in return for their hard work. Unfair trade condemns millions of people living in developing countries to poverty. Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their lot and to have more control over their lives. Currently more than 7 million farmers benefit from Fairtrade. Fair trade is a practical way in which every one can make a difference.Go out and buy fair trade products today!
