What is fair trade?
"Fair Trade is a market-based, entrepreneurial response to business as usual: it helps third-world farmers developing direct market access as well as the organizational and management capacity to add value to their products and take them directly to the global market. Direct trade, a fair price, access to capital and local capacity-building, which are the core strategies of this model, have been successfully building farmers' incomes and self-reliance for more than 50 years."
~ Paul Rice
FAIR TRADE is an organized social movement that works to help producers in poorer countries.
If you buy fair trade coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fresh fruit, chocolate
or flowers instead of a regular commercial brand, a bigger part of the sale price goes to the farmer
and less to middlemen. Fair trade products are clearly labeled – look for them at your local supermarket,
and if you don’t find them, ask the store manager. We strongly ecourage you to purchase fair trade goods
to help child labors get rid of cruel working lifes.
