FAIR TRADE

What is Fairtrade?

The fair trade is a trade mark to indicate that the product is paying the farmers a fair price for there product, and that no child has worked to produce it.

In reality, most farmers don’t get paid nearly as much as they should, and some children have to work to meet the demand.
