How Fairtrade Helps
"Give the man a fish; you feed him for a day,
Teach him how to fish; you feed him for a lifetime!"
- Lao Tzu
Fairtrade Benefits Everyone!
The Consumers:
When buying a Fairtrade product consumers are helping the producers in LEDCs to improve their lives whilst also benefiting from a better quality product, absent of any harmful chemicals. This strengthens the direct parnership between producer and consumer.
The Farmers:
The farmers are given fairer prices meaning that they have more money for family requirements. They can send their children to school so that they may take control of their futures since by having an education they withstand a better chance of a decent job hence beginning the climb out of poverty. They can drink clean water and not have to go to work hungry every day. They can spend money on electricity to cook and improve their living standards, giving them light to simply carry out every day tasks with. "Poverty is like a punishment for a crime you didnt commit" - Eli Khamarov. Fairtrade stops this and gives the farmers and their familys a happier life.
Fairtrade persuades and helps farmers to produce a variety of fruits. The variety creates biodiversity so that they have another fruit to sustain them, rather than relying on just one. This prevents the impact they would usually take if their single fruit variety decayed or was damaged by an animal or bacteria or their was little demand for it. Overall it gives the farmers more sustainability.
The fairtrades minimum wage scheme also grants sustainability. It promises that when world trade does drop the producer will still be paid an agreed amount.
