You should use fair-trade so poor hard working farmers get the money they they need and with fair trade farmers who collect coco beans and make tea and coffee and other fair trade foods should get most of the profit when an item of fair trade is purchased

Why is fair trade a hot topic now?

fair trade is such a hot topic because nowadays many people are very concerned about the environment and others for e.g. if you pay a cocoa farmer more of his cocoa beans he will have more money to look after the cocoa plants in their natural habitat and not have to cut down trees in the forest and will also use less fertiliser and pesticides, this will help save the environment.


What is Fairtrade?

Fairtrade (or Fair Trade) is a world-wide system set up so that people would know that the products they were buying (like coffee, cotton, honey, Oranges, bananas, rice, sugar and more) met certain international standards. Namely:* The original growers were paid adequately for their work and produce * The products were grown under proper environmental standards * The companies were independently audited to make sure* The companies doing so correctly could then use the Fairtrade Certification Mark Fair trade, is basically when companies pay producers [normally in developing countries] a fair price, for what they sell. The difference is that before, companies used to violate human rights and deny basic human needs. In these times of greater globalization, this issue has come into the spotlight. Fair trade is also better for the environment, because 85% of fair trade items are also certified organic.Fair trade is also a means of showing good will, which boosts consumer relations between companies. The main point of fair trade is that companies think of the whole world not just profits. To reassure consumers there are over 270 organizations in 60 countries world wide.

Why is fair trade such a hot topic at the moment?

Nowadays, people are very concerned about others and the environment. Fair Trade cocoa helps the cocoa farmers and the environment. The farmers get paid fairly for their cocoa with fair trade. Also, because they get paid more, they can leave the cocoa in its natural habitat, where it grows better. When they do that, they will not cut down forests or use as much fertilizer or pesticides (Helping the environment).
