What is "Fair Trade"?
There are millions of  disadvantaged producers in developing countries who have been excluded from
successful participation in international trade.  Fair trade seeks to correct this situation by providing trading
conditions that ensure a fair price to the producer, by raising awareness  and by advocating support for
producers and their families. For more information about fair trade, visit these websites:
