FAIR PAY FOR FARMERS
Picture
Farmers, artisans and producers are empowered to grow their businesses,
​ through  more direct trading relationships.   This results in  a fairer portion of
​profits going back to the producer.


BETTER COMMUNITIES
Picture
Farmers, artisans and producers receive a fair trade premium that is
democratically invested back into their  community
​and other local initiatives.
BETTER CONDITIONS
Picture
Fair trade products are made in safe and healthy working conditions, and
​environmentally sustainable practices are employed.  No child labour,
​no slave labour, no GMO, and less pesticides.
A BETTER WORLD FOR ALL
Picture
In the 1940s, some churches raised funds for poverty-stricken communities by selling the handicrafts
created by the poor communities. This was the start of the Fair Trade movement.


Now, Fair Trade goods, including coffee, tea, cocoa, wine, nuts, clothes, handicrafts and jewelry,
amount to over $500 million in annual sales! 


The Fair Trade movement is growing as people realize that they can help alleviate poverty
and protect the environment by choosing Fair Trade products. 

In the late-1980s, a "certified Fair Trade" label made it easy for consumers to identify fair trade goods.

​Today there are more than 3000 Fair Trade grassroots organizations in 60 countries
working with over a million small-scale workers.


Fair Trade products are sold in thousands of Fair Trade shops, and in a growing number
​of traditional supermarkets, shops and restaurants.
