Fair Trade
The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.
This basically means that all the products which are stamped with the mark are products which ensure the farmer in the developing world receives a fair stable cost of production and gives them the chance to plan ahead for the future. Fairtrade also ensures that working conditions and producer organisations receive fair-trade premium to invest further in the community and surroundings.
Fairtrade has improved the lives of millions of people - farmers, workers and their families - in developing countries. We need to keep promoting and supporting Fairtrade to ensure people know that buying Fairtrade products will continue to make a positive difference to the world.
For more information about Fair-trade have a look at the Fair-trade Foundation website. (http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/)
