Fair Trade: hvorfor vi bør købe fair

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 organisation called FairTrade can help the farmers. Fair Trade is a mark that can help the farmers and producer organisations 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 sence 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 Theobroma 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.
