Here's a bit about Fair Trade

When you spend $5 for your pound of coffee at your supermarket, do you realize that the coffee farmer receives less than 50 cents for the beans? When you spend $3.60 for a latte or cappuccino at your favourite cafe, do you realize that less than one cent of that goes to the coffee farmer?

Fair Trade is an alternative approach to conventional international trade. It is a trading partnership, which aims at sustainable development for excluded and disadvantaged producers. It seeks to do this by providing better trading conditions, by awareness raising and by campaigning.

The Fair Trade movement has developed into a powerful force, symbolized by a high level of co-operation and supported by many Fair Trade organizations like the Fair Trade Labelling Organization (FLO). The FLO has affiliates in seventeen countries, TransFair Canada being one of them.
