What is Fair Trade?With many of the things we buy every day such as coffee, bananas, cotton and

chocolate, just a tiny percentage of what we pay actually gets back to the growers. Multinational companies capture the lion’s share of profits from trade of these products and use their market power to push down the prices paid to growers.

Growers are left struggling to feed their families or to send their children to school and sometimes to even cover their production costs. There is a growing range of fairly traded goods in New Zealand. As the taste, and price vary; try a few until

you find some that best suit you.

Some Fair Trade favourites: Trade Aid (food and handicrafts), Scarborough Fair (tea, coffee, chocolate), Whittaker’s (chocolate), All Good (bananas)
