Many people never think about what the fair trade mark means, thinking its just a sign that makes people think about Fair Trade. But there is more to the blue, green and black symbol than people think. The fair trade mark shows that the product it is on is "Fair Trade certified" meaning that it has been grown and produced from a fair trade farmer and this trade mark has been copy righted so that unless they are actually produced from a fair trade farmer and cannot be forged by any farmers who are not from fair trade. The mark of Fair Trade is used in over 50 countries around the world.

How do you know if fair trade farmers get paid for the fair trade product?

Well that is easy fair trade means getting a fair price so that means all fair trade items with the symbol on them were given a fair wage. If you go into say a clothing department store and you want to know whether the farmer was paid a fairly good wage go up to the counter and say "Is this fair trade?"and if they say no then say "If you go fair trade I'll buy it."
