What is Fairtrade?
Fairtrade is an alternate commercial trading system, independently audited, which embraces community action within a democratic Cooperative structure to ensure a higher than market price for the coffee to each farmer, and elevates the living standards for whole communities through the receipt of payment of a Fairtrade Premium direct to the Cooperative.
Fairtrade empowers all who participate and gives rights to some of the poorest producers. Choosing Fairtrade products helps to build roads and schools, teach children, buy medical supplies and change lives and aspirations of whole communities.
