The uniqueness of Fairtrade
1.
Fairtrade: Focus on small producers

Fairtrade objective is poverty reduction : focus on small
scale producers
18
FAIRTRADE Max Havelaar
The uniqueness of Fairtrade
2.
Fairtrade = Three pillars of sustainability

Economic, Social & Environmental

Economic pillar is crucial for small scale producers / poverty reduction :
•
•

Fairtrade studies the cost of production ( minimum price)
Minimum price & premium include :
- Cost of certification (average = 5$ US/bag of 50kg cocoa)
- Cost of inputs
- Cost of social&environmental sustainable farming
Decent Price Sharing is also crucial :
•
•
Consumer: willing to pay a higher price (10%)
Producer: willing to invest in more ‘red and green’
 North takes up responsability with respect to cost of increased
sustainability
 Small scale producers get access to international market if costs are
“rewarded”

Uniqueness of Fairtrade
3.
Fairtrade = Empowerment
“ Trade not aid ”

Creating better trade-environment  self-initiative

Creating stronger organisations  self-service(s)

Creating:
- Employment (vs rural emigration)
- Sound environment (vs. Monoculture, chemicals..)
- Food (for the nation..), social rest, …

“We never dreamed to be negotiating prices” (self-esteem)

Creating credible trade-partners
