Fair Trade and Kind Choices W1-mt_HPf-dVtA3p-s1

  1. Fairer pay and safer work · Fair trade aims for fair prices for farmers, fair pay for workers and safer work. Lower shopping prices and faster deliveries are different aims.
  2. Farmers and chocolate makers · Farmers grow cocoa, and chocolate makers turn it into chocolate. Carrying, selling and buying the bars are different roles.
  3. False · The mark gives information about Fairtrade rules. It does not list each farmer's exact pay.
  4. Some worked in another country · The banana was grown in another country, so the people who grew it worked there. Some work behind a local purchase can happen abroad.
  5. The Fairtrade mark on the chocolate · Checking the Fairtrade mark is relevant to cocoa trading rules. Wrapper colour and label size do not explain those rules.
  6. Less packaging rubbish · Less wrapping can leave less packaging rubbish. The comparison gives no information about the makers' pay or the shop prices.
  7. The maker's pay and workplace safety · The shop price does not show the maker's treatment. Pay and workplace safety are relevant information.
  8. More information is needed. · A missing Fairtrade mark does not prove unfair treatment. Leo needs more information before judging the makers' pay or workplace safety.
