What
is Fairtrade?
The FAIRTRADE
Mark :is an independent consumer label which appears on products
as a guarantee that disadvantaged producers are getting a better deal.
Today, more than 5 million farmers, workers and their families across
49 developing countries benefit from the international Fairtrade system.

Why
Fairtrade?
The Rules
and practices of international trade are biased in favour of rich
countries and powerful companies, often to the cost of poor producers.
Buying Fairtrade certified products changes the lives of millions
of people worldwide and shows how trade can be made to work in favour
of poor people and the environment.
