3. What is Fair Trade? The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal

4. Background Development agencies recognised the important role that consumers could play to improve the situation for producers. By buying direct from farmers at better prices, helping to strengthen their organisations and marketing their produce directly through their own one world shops and catalogues, the charities offered consumers the opportunity to buy products which were bought on the basis of a fair trade.

5. Fairtrade Labelling was created in the Netherlands in the late 1980s. The Max Havelaar Foundation launched the first Fairtrade consumer guarantee label in 1988 on coffee sourced from Mexico.Max Havelaar Foundation Today you can find Fairtrade Labelling in 20 countries including the UK. 20 countries

10. Problems… Problems faced by poor producers/workers in developing countries differ greatly from product to product. Example: Majority of coffee and cocoa is grown by independent small farmers, working their own land and marketing their produce. Receiving a fair price for their beans Most tea is grown on estates workers on tea plantations main concern is fair wages and decent working conditions.

11. Traders must… pay a price to producers that covers the costs of sustainable production and living; pay a 'premium' that producers can invest in development; make partial advance payments when requested by producers; sign contracts that allow for long-term planning and sustainable production practices.
