The Fairtrade Foundation
Its four key areas of activity include: The marketing system for Fairtrade and non-Fairtrade products is identical in the consuming countries, using mostly the same importing, packing, distributing and retailing firms.There is evidence that dishonest importers do not pay the full Fairtrade price, so an even smaller proportion reaches the Third World.A minimum price, which is paid to producers, acts as a safety net for farmers at times when world markets fall below a sustainable level.The additional sum (Fairtrade Premium) is invested in ‘social projects’ such as clinics, women's groups and baseball pitches.[15] In the Fair trade debate there are many complaints of failure to enforce these standards, with Fairtrade cooperatives, importers and packers profiting by evading them.The Fairtrade Foundation's current campaign aims to highlight the goal of achieving living incomes for cocoa farmers in West Africa.
