Fair trade marketed products are absolute rubbish.
'fair trade' is just another 'brand' / marketing tool used by large supermarkets, to make you think that they care about where they get there products. In the same week that the fair trade 'promo' was on I saw on the news two (im sure they wernt the only ones) farmers have to sell up because supermarkets demand stupid prices for their produce.
There is somthing wrong with monopolising market when a primary producer only makes 1p profit per unit for its months of hard labour, yet the supermarkets make 15p for just storing it for a week!
How can you consider fair trade anything but laughable when we cant even take care of our own.

Do you want my thoughts on it, or do you want the technical answer?
