Fairtrade

The Fairtrade Mark was set up to strengthen the economic position of disadvantaged producers such as the millions of landless labourers or small farmers. Producers who are sometimes denied what should be their right - enough to feed their families, send their children to school and that little extra to invest in sustainable development.
