A lot of farmers all around the world are having problems. Problems about surviving. They are working hard to sell their crops, and when the prices drop, the farmers and their families are getting poorer. They need to struggle to keep themselves and their families alive. I don't think that treatment is fair. Farmers are some of the people in the world, who are working harder than anyone of us. They deserve a fair treatment. Anyway, they are the ones who struggle and earn the fewest money. I think many of these farmers are working to hard, compared to their income. That's why I’m happy that the organization called Fairtrade can help the farmers. Fair Trade is a mark that can help the farmers and producer organizations to get a fair price for their products, so the farmers can provide for their families. For the ones who care about other people, it makes since to buy Fair Trade products. For a lot of people, it is important to know about the origin of products. Chocolate beans are growing on a tree called Theorem Cacao in the tropical areas. Twice a year, the beans are getting harvested. Workers and farmers are taking them down. By hand they are getting opened, and carefully taken out. Afterwards they are sold on the marked, and that is where we see that the price is to low compared to the work. It's not only the farmers who are struggling about getting money, also many other people in, for example Africa and Asia, are living under unfair conditions. When you are walking down the streets you will not only se poor beggars, begging the rich tourists for money and food, you will also see little kids working. They are sewing our T-shirts we wear every day. Most of the working kids, are working with farming, and there are about 218 million working kids in the world. Many of the kids who are working on farms helping in the houses, are not always getting payed. Probably because the families have no money to pay them. Because of the work, the children can't play with other kids, they can't go to school and get an education. It means, that it will effect their opportunities in their lives later on. The hardworking farmers and kids, are the reasons why I think Fair Trade is the right way to deal with this big issue. I think the poor families deserve to have a better life, and it is only fair that we can give some of our money to those who really did it. I definitely don't think that the extra money will be taken for granted. I think the workers will be happy and graceful with us showing our willingness to help.
