Fair-trade is a social movement and market approach that aims to help producers in developing countries get a fair price for their products by empowering them. It covers various agricultural products including coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fresh fruit and flowers. For cocoa, farmers harvest the pods, extract the beans, and ferment and dry them before shipping to chocolate producers. Buying fair-trade products provides higher incomes for farmers, allowing them to better support their families with food, education, and improved living standards. It positively impacts many lives in developing nations.
