The Fairtrade Movement

Have you ever seen on the market a product with a fairtrade logo on it, and you can't explain why it is more expensive than the regular ones? If you live in Europe you probably have, but American people haven't heard about this organization. But recently, with the popularity that may spread the program, is good to know what this organisation is about.

Fairtrade is a europe NGO, that acts like a distributor to some disadvantaged and marginalised material producer that can't make a fair trade with their consumers, that gives them less money than they deserved. But they not only act like a simple distributor cause this movement willing to end poverty, with their economical help to this small farmers and labourers, trying to improve their life.

Some of the products that the fair-trade organisation offers are caffe, sugar, bananas, cotton, tea, cocoa, flowers, honey, juices, fresh fruits, rice or even wine, so if you have the opportunity to buy one of a fairtrade product, don't doubt about it because they ensure the quality of it. Also you must be conscious that you are helping someone else to improve their life with that nonprofit money that you donate to them paying more.

Like any other thing in life, fair-trade make negative things like creating inflation on the market products, but it can't be denied that this is a way for ending poverty around the world, something that can be classified as a global issue.
