Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world

It's also about delicious chocolate, juicy fruit, fresh flowers and thousands more top quality products.

Using our consumer power, Fairtrade shoppers have helped improve the lives of millions of farmers and producers and their families across the globe.

This Fairtrade Fortnight supporters up and down the UK showed off their Fairtrade label, being loud and proud about the impact their shopping choices are having on producers overseas.
