WHAT IS FAIR TRADE SHOPPING?

WHAT IS FAIR TRADE SHOPPING?

Fair Trade shopping is built on a global network of producers, traders, marketers, advocates and consumers focused on building equitable trading relationships between consumers in  developed countries and producers in the world's most economically disadvantaged places, such as cooperatives, women's groups, farmers and artisans.

While providing development opportunities in the Global South, Fair Trade shopping works to raise awareness among consumers in the Global North about the realities of the producers, and to encourage them to use their purchasing power positively.
