Fairtrade Coffee and Tea
Why the Fairtrade MarkMillions of landless labourers and small farmers are denied what should be their right: enough to feed their families, send their children to school and that little extra to invest in sustainable development. Clearly, the advantages of international trade are not visible to all people in the world. For small farmers, access to market or price information is difficult and, as a result, many small farmers become increasingly dependent on middlemen. In bad times, many lose their asset: their land and, thus, their livelihoods. Similarly, many plantation workers do not see the benefits of increasing world trade. Many endure low pay, an unsafe working environment and poor living conditions. Too often they lack the freedom to join a trade union to defend their rights and the opportunity to participate in decisions that affect their lives on the plantation.
The Fairtrade Foundation exists to improve the position of poor and marginalised producers in the developing world. The Fairtrade Foundation encourages U.K. industry and consumers to support fairer trade and to purchase Fairtrade products. Products that carry the Fairtrade Mark, the only independent consumer guarantee, ensure that producers in the developing world get a better deal.
