Fairtrade is a widely recognised label and it is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. When you see the Fairtrade label on a product, it means that the workers throughout the supply chain are not subject to injustice and are not discriminated against because of their vulnerable state. It means they have been given control of their future and lead the dignified life that everyone deserves.
