A Fair
Price


Fair Trade prices are set by the Fair Trade organization as guarantied minimum price supplemented by a Fair Trade premium that can only be used for democratically chosen community development projects such as building a school, hiring a physician or digging wells. Of course, as Fair Trade sales grow, so does the impact of the fair price. If the world markets jump above the minimum Fair Trade price then the market price is paid, plus the Fair Trade premium.
