Why buy fair? International trade does not benefit everyone in the world. Many people live in poverty, are not treated with dignity and do not receive a fair income for their labour. This has led to the emergence of the concept of Fair Trade, which aims to guarantee that producers in less developed countries receive a fair price that not only reflects the true costs of their production and work, but also makes socially just and environmentally sound production possible.

 

“We do not want charity; we do not want aid. We want self-esteem to lead a respectable and decent life, to work for our dreams, to be acknowledged and appreciated for our efforts. Like you, we want a fairer world. A group of women artisans from Bangladesh in a message to IFAT (International Federation for Fair Trade).
