Disadvantaged producers get a better deal through the fair trade system, which is why it was created. These producers are independently certified by the Fairtrade mark as a guarantee.Fairtrade born in 1988 in the Netherlands after the collapse of world coffee prices. As prices plunged many coffee farmers were unable to cover their costs of production and they and their families suffered severe hardship. A "fair" system had to be introduced, so the Fairtrade Foundation being.It entered was not long before many other forms of agriculture are covered in the form of Fair Trade. Why did that happen? Well, most of the operations of growing coffee and bananas to the flowers and grapes were receiving an income well below the cost of production. This can not be allowed to continue so I made sure that Fairtrade is that producers get a reasonable income for their product. Fair Trade warehouse for the first time in the world to be awarded the certification mark Thandi in South Africa. But in those early days were the wines in the world, I think not - but recently there has been a remarkable revolution, much more cooperation and understanding between producers and workers. Not only are the wines well done and full of character, are also able to compete on price and quality with other wines shelves.It leading supermarket should be remembered that many of the world's grape growers and collectors continue to live in poverty line, but thanks to this trade fair is being treated. The next time you enjoy a glass of wine and get the feel-good, do not forget that a lot of "cheap" labor may have been used in the vineyards at harvest time to pick grapes. Now we can be sure that many of the collectors of hard work, at least get a decent reward for their hard work. Why should the big companies make millions on the back of the sweat labor is not right.So how to calculate the price of Fair Trade? The minimum price for the product is calculated to cover the costs of sustainable production, it also takes into account a sustainable livelihood. Traders and producers are involved in the pricing - which is a mini co-op with the devastating effects of global recession and credit crunch, producers need Fairtrade now more than ever.
