Why Fairtrade?

More than 2 billion people who live in poverty currently rely on small-scale agriculture for their food and wages. World trade has the potential to greatly reduce poverty, encourage economic growth and provide these people with a sustainable livelihood. But the regulations that currently govern international trade are stacked in favour of wealthy countries and organisations. As a consequence workers at the beginning of the supply chain don't always get a fair share of the benefits of trade.

Fairtrade certifies goods that meet an internationally agreed standard, and buying products that carry the ‪#‎Fairtrade‬ mark is your independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers are getting a better deal. It means you can be confident that a fair price has been paid for your product and that producers have enough money to reinvest back into their communities.
