Why Should We Consume Fair Trade?

Why do we want to consume Fair Trade? "Her family earns less than $ 0.74 per day annually through agriculture, at which point her husband Kistaiah is still alive" (Patel 74). After reading Ruj Patel 's Stuffed and Starved, I revealed that I have never seen a supermarket the same way. This special story tells the unhappy story of a widow in Indian rural town, Parvathi Masaya. She will do everything to give mourning to her family and memorialize her husband's suicide.

In the first article of the new series on fashion fair trade and sustainable development practice, I defined the movement of Fair Trade and explained how consumers can positively influence developing countries through purchasing. The biggest point of this campaign is to make consumers and businesses act - you have the ability to improve the fashion industry. We can also fight developing countries through unfair practices, as we assemble parliamentarians and organize marches against unjust corrupt governments. We can question everything.

We should support the expanding fair trade movement. They support more than 5 million people in Africa and Latin America in socially responsible trade. Fair trade coffee etc. You need to purchase these items. It costs a lot of money, but we are not only shoppers but also citizens. Oxfam America has launched the fair trade campaign. There is a website (www.maketradefair.com) that provides a lot of information on how to join. We are becoming a world. There is a precedent government which abandons some sovereignty for the benefit of cooperation. Regional organizations have been implemented in the form of WTO and EU. This grouping may increase in the future due to the need to avoid confusion, the suffering of the big differences between wealthy people and the poor, and perhaps the side effects of competition among the great economic powers.

Fair trade is a social movement. Fairtrade is an appropriate term. Unlike most imported products, Fair Trade's move arises from the consumer's desire to purchase products produced under safe working conditions. Most fair trade products are export items of agricultural products from low-income countries. Anyone familiar with the term "fair trade" can see it in the basket of coffee. Coffee is a huge industry - Americans drink only 400 million cups a day. With the establishment of Equal Exchange Co-op, the Fair Trade movement welcomed coffee in 1986. Their mission is to weaken the oligopoly brought about by coffee trade - like most agricultural products, most coffee is produced by heavily abused workers in large scale farms. Small farmers have disappeared from the industry because they can not compete with multinational companies. Equal Exchange strives for small farmers to secure their position in the market by establishing long-term contracts and final revenue for the price.
