Fairtrade is a system of certification and an organized social movement that aims to help producers in developing countries achieve better trading conditions. It promotes sustainable farming practices and prohibits child labor and forced labor.

A wage is a fixed regular payment, typically paid on a daily or weekly basis, made by an employer to an employee, especially to a manual or unskilled worker.

It is important for workers and farmers to build better homes because it provides them with safety, stability, and improved health. Better housing contributes to a higher quality of life, reduces stress, and allows families to invest in education and community development.

The items that would not have the Fairtrade logo are television and car.

• Why: Fairtrade certification primarily applies to agricultural commodities and handcrafted goods from developing countries. Televisions and cars are complex manufactured goods with supply chains that do not fall under the scope of Fairtrade standards.

Three countries around the world that have Fairtrade organisations or significant Fairtrade production are:

• Ghana
• Colombia
• Peru

One country where Fairtrade bananas are grown is Ecuador.

Yes, Fairtrade is important because it ensures fair prices for producers, promotes ethical labor practices, supports community development, and encourages environmental sustainability. It helps empower farmers and workers in developing countries to improve their livelihoods and invest in their future.
