Fairtrade works with small-scale sugar cane farmers to improve their bargaining position as well as their businesses and communities. Workers and farmers in the multi-billion dollar tea industry face difficult conditions. Fairtrade works to change that. Critical for clothing and more, cotton is often produced under challenging conditions. Not everybody benefits from the lucrative trade in fresh fruit and juices.
Fairtrade seeks to change that. Herbs and spices liven up our food, but growers are often left with a bitter taste. Fortunately a huge variety of Fairtrade herbs and spices are now available. Eat them whole, or find them in cooking oils and cosmetics. There is a huge variety of Fairtrade nuts, seeds and pitted fruits available. You can buy Liberation Nuts in salted or chilli and lime flavour. They also have a crunchy peanut butter which is equally Fairtrade.
If you think quinoa is a guilt-free carb, think again. The recent Western appetite for quinoa has made it too expensive for the Peruvian farmers who have cultivated it for themselves for millennia. Quinola Mothergrain takes this increased cost-of-living into account when determining prices. Kallo has been cranking out wholegrain health food for over two centuries! They stay relevant by adapting to all the latest shopper demands.
This recently included getting their crispy-crunchy rice cakes certified by the Fairtrade Foundation. Coffee is one of the more familiar Fairtrade products. But Cru Kafe takes ethical caffeination to another level. Along with paying the Fairtrade minimum for coffee, Cru helps women gain a foothold in the male-dominated coffee industry.
Lately, health gurus have been touting coconut oil for everything. From cleaning your teeth to plumping your muffins, coconut oil works. But these wholesome fruits are often harvested in not-so-wholesome ways. Some farms force chained monkeys to do the picking. They offer almonds, hand-picked dates, and organic couscous-like maftoul certified by Fair for Life. Like many isolated islands, Westray has long survived on local produce and shelf-stable imports. Ensuring good working conditions: Providing a safe and healthy working environment for producers and workers in line with the International Labour Organization conventions.
Providing capacity building: Seeking to develop the skills of producers and workers so they can continue to grow and prosper. Promoting fair trade: Raising awareness for the need of greater justice in world trade by trading fairly with poor communities. Respect for the environment: Caring for the environment by maximising use of sustainable energy and raw materials while minimising waste and pollution. What are the Benefits of Fair Trade? Trading partnerships are developed, to help producers in developing countries achieve better trading conditions for now and the future.
They are given market access that enables buyers to trade with producers who may have otherwise been excluded. Everyone throughout the supply chain is treated with dignity, respect, equality and fairness. Producers are empowered to understand more about market conditions, as well as developing their skills, knowledge and resources, allowing them to thrive. Key Principles of Fair Trade Trading practices are fair and not one-sided.
Prices paid are fair and sufficient for producers and workers to earn more than enough to meet their day-to-day needs. Payments are often made in advance to ensure the supplier can fulfil orders. Producers and workers have a voice, whether organised into groups or involved in workplaces where there is freedom of association. Safe working conditions, non-discrimination and welfare of children.
