What is Fair Trade?
Fair Trade aims to build dignified trading relationships between consumers in the North and producers in developing countries. This involves changing the way that conventional international trade works, so that:
Producers receive a guaranteed price for their goods, and the security of long-term trading contracts
Producers benefit from guaranteed minimum health and safety conditions.
Producers, their workplace and the environment are not exploited.
Strong democratic businesses with real participation develop.
Leadership development with gender equity is fostered.
Education and training opportunities for producers, especially women, are actively promoted.
