What Is Fairtrade?
Fairtrade is a system of trade that aims to improve the standard of living for producers and workers in developing countries through the purchase of their materials and products at fair prices. Producing products that are designated as “fairtrade” and allowing customers to purchase them leads to mutual prosperity for supplier countries.
