Why Fairtrade?
Social Development
The Fairtrade price includes a premium which is set aside for farmers
and workers to spend on projects or to strengthen their communities.
Environmental Improvement
Fairtrade protects and improves the environment. Extra income means
farmers can invest in sound agricultural practices.
-
By cutting weeds instead of using
herbicides, 1,900 organic coffee farmers in Sumatra, Indonesia are
protecting endangered species, including the Sumatran tiger.
- In the Dominican Republic, 9,000
cocoa farmers have used the Fairtrade premium to convert to organic
farming.
