4 Spilling the beans So, what is Fair Trade? Fair trade simply means workers in poor countries get a fair deal for their goods. So a cocoa farmer from Ghana or a cotton grower in India get fair and stable prices and long-term, secure contracts from rich countries, like the UK. This means they can gradually work their way out of poverty. Look for the logo There are over 1000 fair trade products on the market ranging from chocolate to coffee to fresh fruit. They all carry the Fair Trade mark and can be found in most local supermarkets. By buying fair trade you are supporting decent pay rates and better working conditions for workers. More information For more information on fair trade products visit: For more useful websites, check out the Contacts section at the back of the handbook.
