Fair Trade: Influences and Effects on Society

Fair trade, refers to an existent social movement, which being organized, aims at aiding producers (farmers, industrialists, entrepreneurs etc), especially those from the developing world, formulate better trading conditions, as well as requisites towards the promotion of economic sustainability. As such, it advocates for better/ higher price payment for exports, in addition to promoting enhanced environmental and socio-economic standards. Pertinently so, it espouses a trading partnership that is rooted in not only respect and dialogue, but also enhanced transparency, as well as greater equity in reference to international trade and commerce. By aiming to achieve sustainable development, it offers better trading conditions to marginalized workers and producers, as well as securing their greater rights, especially towards achieving greater market access.
