What is fair Trade? • Fair Trademeans paying farmers a better (fair) price for their produce which will allow them more control over their lives and also improve their standard of living. • The Fair Trade Markis a consumer label which guarantees that the farmers who produced the food originally were paid a fair price. The Fair Trade Foundation awards the fair-trade Mark to products that meet the agreed criteria (standards).

  10. The Fair Trade Criteria1The price paid for the product must cover the cost of production.2 Workers on plantations have decent wages, housing and health & safety standards.3 No child labour or forced labour is allowed.4 A percentage of the money they earn is used by the producers to improve their living and working conditions.5 Producers are treating the environment in a sustainable way.6 Small scale farmers and workers on plantations can join organisations that will help and support them, eg. Co-operatives or trade unions.7 Contracts make sure there is long term planning for sustainable development.8 Advance payment is made so that smaller producers won’t fall into debt.The Fairtrade Foundation | Fairtrade - Coffee: Uganda
