    Fair trade aims to help producers in developing countries get a better deal and improve their lives. It does this by establishing minimum prices for crops that cover the costs of sustainable production, providing stability through long-term contracts, and enabling access to pre-financing. This benefits small farmers and workers who would otherwise be vulnerable to sudden drops in market prices. The document discusses how fair trade supports banana growers in the Windward Islands and cocoa farmers in Ghana. It also notes that fair trade products can be found in most supermarkets and promote healthy, home-grown agriculture.

    Fair trade

    BANANAS
    • The banana trade has been crucial to the national economies of the
    Windward Islands since it was established more than 50 years ago by the
    former British colonial power to supply the UK market.
    • Of the 4,000 remaining banana growers in the Windward Islands
    approximately 3,400 are members of the 48 Fairtrade groups across
    Dominica, St Lucia and St Vincent.
    • For most Fairtrade products, buyers must pay at least the Fairtrade
    minimum price. This price aims to cover the costs of sustainable
    production for the producer. It’s a safety net for farmers when market
    prices fall below a sustainable level. Without it, farmers are at the mercy of
    sudden drops in value for their crops. When the market price is higher than
    the Fairtrade minimum price, the buyer must pay the market price.
    Producers are able to negotiate better prices based on factors such as
    quality. There are also higher Fairtrade minimum prices for organic crops
    or higher grades of produce. Through Fairtrade, producers can request
    pre-financing from buyers and enter into long term, stable contracts
    Why to buy fair trade products
    • You should buy fair trade
    because you know where
    its coming from and you
    know the people who pick
    and make the products
    get paid a fair amount.
    And when you buy the
    products the money goes
    to the people who pick
    and make the products.
    Coco beans
    • Most of the cocoa beans
    grown in Ghana are sent
    to the UK and other
    countries in Europe
    where they are made into
    chocolate. The price
    farmers receive for their
    cocoa beans is often very
    low and few of them can
    afford to buy chocolate
    Where can you buy fair-trade
    products
    • You can buy fair-
    trade products from
    mostly all
    supermarkets when
    you buy fair-trade
    the way to know if it
    is fair-trade there
    will be a little logo
    on the side saying
    fair-trade.
    Products that are fairtrde
    FAIR TRADE IS GOOD…
    • Fair trade is good because you know
    where you get it from, also it sometimes
    tells you if you buy the product e.g.
    bananas how much the workers get.
    • Fair trade is also healthy and made by
    farming products all home grown fruit and
    vegetables, nothing is brought from other
    shops or farms.
