(download doc) | A Small Price to Pay Everyone of us is probably feeling the pinch at the moment. The price of our weekly shopping is going up, not to mention petrol, heating, council tax…. We are in a food crisis but depending on what side of the equator you are, crisis has a very different meaning. Currently wheat prices are up 120% and rice is up 75%. At worst this means that we have to cut back in other areas for our lives. For the world’s poorest people at worst, they starve. The word ‘crisis’ is very real for these people. What can Fair Trade do about it? Fair Trade pays producers a bit more which means they are better able to cope with the rising cost of food and to invest in farming and diversifying. Fair Trade means that poor countries to increase productivity and gain access to markets, so that they are in a better position to benefit from higher prices. Fair Trade has never been more important! More information. |
|  2009 - Year of the Fair Trade Festival
Fair Trade Wales wants to make sure our Fair Trade nation status is recognised in all parts of Welsh life. We are currently focusing on working with national festivals to help them adopt a Fair Trade policy. This means that when you go to that festival Fair Trade goods should always be available and that the festival is making an ongoing commitment to Fair Trade. How you can help? If you go to a festival you can help my writing to the festival organisers to let them know you’d like to see more Fair Trade products around. If you are in a Fair Trade group you could contact and us and we could work together on helping to make your local festival Fair Trade. Alternatively, if you are a festival organiser and are interested in supporting the campaign we’d love to hear from you! |

Stop Europe’s Unfair Trade deals! Europe is pressing forward with new trade deals that will ruin Africa, the Caribbean and Pacific trade - and millions of people's lives. The EU's EPAs (Economic Partnership Agreements) will expose home-grown businesses and investment to unfair competition from Europeans - and could damage their jobs, livelihoods and the environment. It now appears that Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) could play a significant role in stopping these unfair trade deals being forced through.
