Fair Trade

Fair Trade is a movement that promotes standards for international labour, environmentalism, and social policy in areas relating to the production of goods, which range from handcrafts to agricultural goods. The movement focuses on exports from developing countries to developed countries.

Fair Trade deliberately works with marginalised producers and workers in order to help them move from a position of vulnerability to economic self-sufficiency. It also aims at empowering them to become stakeholders in their own organisations and actively play a wider role in the global arena to achieve greater equity in international trade.
