Why sell fair trade in your shop?
Buying fair trade is a guarantee to your customers that producer organisations received a fair and stable price for their products that covers their costs and enables them to support their families and invest in a better future.
With fair trade products fast on track to becoming a £500 million consumer market in the UK, there is an ever-increasing range of fair trade distribution opportunities available. 57% of the adult population can now identify the Fairtrade certification mark.
