Fairtrade is about giving the fair price to the farmers or producers. Most farmers are living in poor condition like not enough water, electricity and so on. Fair prices will help them make their life better. Fair trade products might be little expensive to buy but at least we know the farmers will get enough money to make life better. So always look for fair trade mark when you go shopping.

Task 2
How would you feel if you only received a tiny bit of the money you deserved for producing something you worked so hard on? This is where the Fairtrade Foundation comes in.
The Fairtrade Foundation
The Fairtrade Foundation was set up to help producers in poorer countries get a fair price for their work.
So when you buy something with a Fairtrade logo on it, you know that a fair amount of the money is going towards helping the community where it came from.
This extra money is usually put into things that can help the local community – like bicycles to help workers travel to work or new wells to provide water.
Fairtrade Products
There are many everyday foods and products that you can buy with Fairtrade. All are easily identifiable with a special Fairtrade sticker.
Some Fairtrade foods you will easily spot see are:
Fruits – bananas, mangos, pineapples and grapefruits are now often available as Fairtrade. So as well as getting one of your 5 a Day, you’ll be helping farmers across the world
Chocolate – from chocolate bars to chocolate cakes, chocolate sauce to gift boxes

Part Two:
A Fair Trade just needs to be fair like giving a fair price to the producers. A Fair Trade also means making sure that the people get the money they deserve for the work they do. The Fair Trade Foundation was established to help poor people who makes the product to get a fair price. So, if you see a product with Fair Trade Logo on it you can know that it is letting the poor people have fair amount of money. Fair Trade is about better prices, decent working conditions and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers.
WITH FAIR TRADE YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD EVERY DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is Fair trade:
Fair trade is a way of buying and selling products that is fair for workers and farmers. It is a way to get them more than just their simple needs like schools, glasses and better health. Fair trade means that big shops like supermarkets pay the people in developing countries fairly. A fair trade premium is when the buyer gives the sellers a bit more money to help build schools or new farms.

Columbia is second with about 2/3rds of Brazil's production. Cotton grows in warm climates and most of the world’s cotton is grown in the U.S., Uzbekistan, the People’s Republic of China and India. Other leading cotton-growing countries are Brazil, Pakistan and Turkey.The cocoa tree is a native of the Amazon basin and other tropical areas of South and Central America, where wild varieties still grow in the forests, but the cocoa growing area has extended to the Carribbean and beyond.

What I have learnt about Fair Trade is:
Fair trade means to give money fairly for the work done. For Example, a banana worker in Africa does the peeling, but he gets only 1 Rand, the supermarkets and shops gets 13 Rands.
So, fair trade means give money fairly to the workers in the developing countries.
We read through these in class and we used them to help us to start creating a Fair Trade presentation which we needed to collect information for in our computing session. Mr Goddard
ReplyDeletefair trade helps make things fair.For example banana worker gets the least money even though they do the most work.Fair trade helps the money for them get more.the money that we give on stuff that is fair trade,fair trade helps spread the given money,out evenly.

coffee:Brazil,Colombia,Indonesea,Vietnam

Fair trade is a social movement whose stated goal is to help producers in developing countries achieve better trading conditions and to promote sustainable farming. Members of the movement advocate the payment of higher prices to exporters, as well as improved social and environmental standards. The movement focuses in particular on commodities, or products which are typically exported from developing countries to developed countries, but also consumed in domestic markets (e.g. Brazil, India and Bangladesh) most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, wine, sugar, fresh fruit, chocolate, flowers and gold.[1][2] The movement seeks to promote greater equity in international trading partnerships through dialogue, transparency, and respect. It promotes sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers in developing countries.[3] Fair trade is grounded in three core beliefs; first, producers have the power to express unity with consumers. Secondly, the world trade practices that currently exist promote the unequal distribution of wealth between nations. Lastly, buying products from producers in developing countries at a fair price is a more efficient way of promoting sustainable development than traditional charity and aid.[4]
ReplyDeleteFair trade labeling organizations most commonly use a definition of fair trade developed by FINE, an informal association of four international fair trade networks: Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International, World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), Network of European Worldshops and European Fair Trade Association (EFTA). Specifically, fair trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency, and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. Fair trade organizations, backed by consumers, are engaged actively in supporting producers, awareness raising, and in campaigning for changes in the rules and practice of conventional international trade.[5]
There are several recognized fair trade certifiers, including Fairtrade International (formerly called FLO, Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International), IMO, Make Trade Fair and Eco-Social. Additionally, Fair Trade USA, formerly a licensing agency for the Fairtrade International label, broke from the system and is implementing its own fair trade labelling scheme, which has resulted in controversy due to its inclusion of independent smallholders and estates for all crops. In 2008, Fairtrade International certified approximately (€3.4B) of products.[6][7] The World Trade Organization publishes annual figures on the world trade of goods and services.
The fair trade movement is popular in the UK, where there are 500 Fairtrade towns, 118 universities, over 6,000 churches, and over 4,000 UK schools registered in the Fairtrade Schools Scheme. In 2011, over 1.2 million farmers and workers in more than 60 countries participated in Fairtrade International's fair trade system, which included €65 million in fairtrade premium paid to producers for use developing their communities.[9] According to Fairtrade International, nearly six out of ten consumers have seen the Fairtrade mark and almost nine in ten of them trust it.[
Some criticisms have been raised about fair trade systems. One 2015 study in a journal published by the MIT Press concluded that producer benefits were close to zero because there was an oversupply of certification, and only a fraction of produce classified as fair trade was actually sold on fair trade markets, just enough to recoup the costs of certification. Some research indicates that the implementation of certain fair trade standards can cause greater inequalities in some markets where these rigid rules are inappropriate for the specific market.[12][13][14] In the Fair trade debate there are complaints of failure to enforce the fair trade standards, with producers, cooperatives, importers and packers profiting by evading them.
