On the Oxfam website there is a really informative article about Fair Trade chocolate. You can also go on the official Fair Trade website to find out even more information.
Fair trade bananas may cost more, but will benefit the farmers from rural populations a lot more and are considered by many to be "A fairer choice". However in normal bananas the highest amount of profit is generated by the Supermarket.
Fair trade chocolate is chocolate that is made by people who are paid well for their time and labor, as opposed to slave made chocolate, which is made by slaves, or people who are paid a very small amount for the work they do. Fair trade chocolate is more expensive to buy, because the makers of that chocolate are paid a fair amount the slave don't get paid:p
As of July 2009 Mars gets a small portion of its chocolate from a supplier that is UTZ Certified Fair Trade. Not all of it is, and they have a long way to go. At this time, M&M/Mars uses more chocolate than all the Fair Trade chocolate produced. However, they did state in April 2009 that all their chocolate will be Fair Trade by 2020. Prior answers that say "Fair Trade tastes gross" (and I am guessing that is what their multiple misspellings was trying to say) obviously has never eaten Fair Trade chocolate. I find the higher cacao percentage and single source varietals to make a far superior tasting chocolate.
When a product is certified as being 'fair trade' it means that those who grew the cocoa beans received a fair price and that those who harvested the beans were paid a fair wage. There is no difference in type and quality of these beans from other beans, and thus there is no difference in the chocolate. However, fair trade chocolate is more expensive because of the higher (fairer) price paid to the growers and workers.
It will cost a bit more so they will have to charge more then if they were buying normal products. This may make it harder to compete, which is the whole issue with Fair Trade.
coffee ,tea, chocolate, nuts, wine, oil , cocoa, rice and much more
its creates pollution when the products are being transported to the country it is going to. By your mum
slightly more than normal bananas but it is for a good cause!
All other things being equal non-fair trade items could be sold for less than fair trade goods because the cost of purchase would be lower. This is not often the case as the retailers of the goods wish to maximise their profits and so sell them at what is seen as normal market price.
A: The "fair" in fair trading is "Making poverty history" would that not be fair. Find out more by googling "Global fair trade".
It depends really it could be from 20p more to £1 but that's because poor farmers or something make it so they get more money for it :) i hope this helps<3
