Rouge The Fair Trade Shop - About Fair Trade

	Fair Trade is a partnership between producers and consumers which ensures producers receive good working conditions and fair prices. Fair Trade principles include: Paying fair prices to the producers which reflect the true cost of production – world market prices often do not cover even the cost of the raw materials. .
		Supporting producer organisations in their social development projects – many provide health and education facilities promoting the empowerment of women. Advising on product development to increase access to markets. Encouraging environmental responsibility. Committing to long term relationships to provide stability and security. Campaigning to highlight the unequal system of world trade.
