What is good about fairtrade?

Answer 1

t's so easy - you can buy online or in your local stores. Look for the FAIRTRADE Mark

Fair Trade tackles poverty by opening up international markets to producers who would not normally get a chance to sell their goods globally

The price of Fairtrade goods covers the local producers' costs, plus a premium to reinvest in their business and their community

Workers and farmers decide themselves how their Fairtrade premium will be invested

Fairtrade empowers the producers and their workers and increases their knowledge of international trade.

Fairtrade farmers are encouraged and given incentives to grow organically to protect their environment

By buying Fairtrade goods, consumers are showing they care about producers and not just about prices

Fair Trade challenges all producers to move away from unsustainably low commodity prices and unethical sourcing

Buying Fairtrade sends a loud message to governments that normal people want justice in all forms of trading

Fairtrade is trustworthy. The FAIRTRADE Mark guarantees that producers in developing countries are getting a better deal
