FAIRTRADE TERMS Pay farmers a guaranteed price that covers the cost of production and the cost of living. Sign long term contracts. Require good working conditions & care for the environment. Make an extra payment – ‘Fairtrade Premium’ – to benefit the whole community. (an answer to the problems of the Windward Is. producers)

Year after year, more and more shoppers want to be sure that producers in developing countries are being treated fairly. The continued success of Fairtrade in benefitting more than 5 million producers and their families around the world will also depend on the choices YOU make.
