Pink carrots in UK supermarkets?
Perhaps not yet.
But next time you go shopping you could look out for all the fruit
and vegetables from different countries around the world.
Remember that most of them will be grown by farmers in poor countries
– who often do not earn a fair share of the price for producing
them.
But Fair Trade is a growing international movement which ensures
that producers in poor countries do get a fair deal. This means
a fair price for their goods: one that covers the cost of production
and guarantees a living income.
Major UK supermarkets now sell a range of Fair Trade goods, including
bananas, tea, coffee, cocoa, chocolate etc. Look out for them next
time you go shopping!
