Fair Trade
Fair Trade is the label given when the production price for the traded product is normally above the world market price allowing producers in developing countries to achieve sustainable and equitable trade relationships. In that way producers can expect a higher and more reliable income than is otherwise possible in conventional business. Producers also have to adhere to international environmental and social standards. The fair trade movement is particularly for goods which come from developing countries and are exported to industrialised countries.
Our Fair Trade products:
