Fairtrade
We can make the world Fair
Fairtrade is a poverty reduction strategy.
Farmers in Africa, Latin America and Asia are given the opportunity, through their own efforts, to strengthen their villages and families and sustainably improve their living and working conditions through Fairtrade standards, which include a Fairtrade Premium.
Fairtrade peasants and workers receive a voice, are perceived and make self-determined decisions.
Why Fairtrade
Farming families and plantation workers in the so-called developing countries are living under pressure from the world market, fluctuating prices and exploitative local trade.
The consequences range from debt to unemployment to impoverishment.
There are often only a few alternatives to traditional production, and unfortunately these also include drug cultivation, prostitution, exploitative child labor and fleeing to the slums of the big cities or emigration.
