Why should you buy Fair Trade products?

Items sold by Fair Trade Federation members support the following commitments:

• Providing fair wages in the local context,
• Supporting safe, healthy, and participatory workplaces,
• Supplying financial and technical support to build capacity,
• Promoting environmental sustainability,
• Respecting cultural identity,
• Offering public accountability and transparency,
• Building direct and long-term relationships, and
• Educating consumers.

FTF members foster partnerships with producers, because they know these connections are a highly effective way to help producers help themselves.

Fair trade is not about charity. It is a holistic approach to trade and development that aims to alter the ways in which commerce is conducted, so that trade can empower the poorest of the poor. Fair Trade Organizations seek to create sustainable and positive change in developing and developed countries.

And buying Fair Trade products make a difference in the communities that produce those products.
