normally, when you buy a product that was produced in a LEDC (less economically developed country) barely any of the money goes to the farmer. fair trade makes it so most of the money goes to the producer, and not the sellers, this means that they can afford to support their families. Maybe if enough products become fairtrade, a village could afford a tap, to supply them with clean, fresh water, without walking for miles each day.

∙ 14y agoFair trade is not a brand. Any brand can be sold fair trade. Fair trade simply means that the particular item is purchased from a local landowner in the foreign nation. The local farmer participates in the profits. This is contrasted to a product produced by gigantic corporate operation. Thus, it did not come from the thousands of square miles owned by the United Fruit Company.

Why is fair trade important?
Fair trade is important because in many poorer countries, prices are so low that workers are unable to earn enough to live off of. Also, some goods are produced in ways that are exploitative to workers, or ways that are unsustainable environmentally, damaging to the environment in the communities in which the goods are produced. Fair trade does not instantly solve all these problems, but it aims to potentially address some of them in ways that conventional trade does not.
