Fairtrade in Havant Borough
Havant Borough Fairtrade Forum has been meeting since 2004 with
the aim of promoting Fairtraide products across the local area and
thanks to their efforts, Havant has now successfully become a
Fairtrade Borough.
What is Fairtrade?
Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions,
local sustainability and fair terms of trade for farmers and
produce workers in developing countries. The people who
produce crops such as tea, fruit and vegetables are among the
poorest in the world and are often exploited by traders.
By addressing the injustices of conventional trade and requiring
companies to pay sustainable prices (which never fall beneath
those of the market) Fairtrade aims to help enable the poorest and
weakest producers to improve their situations and gain more control
of their lives.
Fairtrade marks on products are a guarantee that
the workers have been paid fair prices for their produce.
