Your Guide to Fairtrade Fortnight: Products, Food and More

When is Fairtrade Fortnight 2025?

Fairtrade Fortnight will run from 22 September - 5 October 2025.

What is Fairtrade Fortnight?

During Fairtrade Fortnight thousands of companies, groups and individuals in the UK come together to celebrate and stand with the people who grow our food.

The current financial crisis is taking a heavy toll on smallholder farmers and workers. The costs of fuel, fertiliser and food rising above affordable levels means that producers can’t earn enough to cover their costs or fund climate adaption work.

Fairtrade Fortnight asks shoppers to back the farmers behind some of our favourite products, to ensure they are paid fairly throughout this climate and cost of living crisis. The campaign endeavours to inform the public on the struggles surrounding today’s farmers and educate on the benefit of shopping fair trade.

Fairtrade is about better prices, safe working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers.

Fairtrade means that workers’ rights are protected. And it helps create safe working conditions and promote fairer pay.

Products with the FAIRTRADE Mark are ethically produced. Choosing Fairtrade means standing with farmers for fairness and equality. It means farmers creating change, from investing in climate-friendly farming techniques to supporting women in leadership.

By choosing Fairtrade now, you’re taking a stand with farmers and workers worldwide for fairer incomes, so they can protect the future of our food.

Times have changed but our commitment to Fairtrade hasn’t. Check out some of our favourite Fairtrade products on the Oxfam Online Shop.

Classic milk chocolate with a Pecan Caramel Crunch makes this Tony’s Chocolonely Milk Chocolate Pecan Caramel an indulgent treat. An added pecan crunch brings the perfect balance.

Fairtrade is about social justice.

By consumers taking the simple action of choosing Fairtrade, they are protecting the future of our food by supporting farmers on the frontline of the climate crisis and facing rising costs.

80 percent of the world’s food comes from 500 million family farms, where people are increasingly facing the worst effects of the climate crisis. Furthermore, these small-scale family farmers which are disproportionately affected by climate change lack access to the resources they need to adapt to a changing climate (source: UN Food and Agriculture Organisation)

Poverty, caused in part by decades of chronic underpayment, is a root cause of inability to adapt to climate change.

Poverty prevents smallholder farmers from developing their businesses. This fuels a vicious cycle of low productivity and declining incomes. The less farmers earn, the harder it is to secure good harvests. All this leaves them financially unable to tackle climate change damage.

Choosing Fairtrade means choosing to prioritise farmers' livelihoods. With collective strength. Through co-ops and their bargaining power, the protection of the Fairtrade Minimum Price and Fairtrade Premium. More money means more climate resilience into the future.
