Fairtrade is a global movement which addressees the injustices of conventional trade by supporting smallholder farmers and workers to secure better terms of trade.
Fairtrade Africa, a member of the wider International Fairtrade movement, represents Fairtrade-certified producers in Africa and the Middle East.
Fairtrade strengthens
the position of farmers and workers in the value chain. By offering an
alternative approach to trade, Fairtrade supports producers in securing better
deals, contributing to greater sustainable development in Africa.
Farmers and workers
Fairtrade certified
producers receive a fair price, protecting them against unstable markets. On
top of the minimum price, Fairtrade farmers and workers receive the Fairtrade
Premium, which they invest in socio-economic and environmental projects.
Traders
Fairtrade promotes
longer-term trading relationships so that producers can better plan their
future. Traders further support farmers and workers in Africa by pre-financing
production activities during periods when production finance is most required –
often harvesting time.
Consumers
By buying products
with the FAIRTRADE Mark consumers are given the opportunity to improve the
livelihoods of farmers and workers in Africa. Shoppers also consume more
sustainably as Fairtrade supports producers in their battle against climate
change.
