Fairtrade | News | Press Release (#)

„Some of the highlights of the 6000 events around the UK are a traditional boat (gaff ketch) bringing a cargo of Fairtrade bananas from the Windward Islands to Southampton for distribution to everyone from the mayor to hospital patients; a Rich/Poor Banquet in Newcastle; a Mad Hatters Tea Party in Glasgow and Jack Ellis from ITV drama Bad Girls joining a Fairtrade Quiz at Chelmsford Cathedral. Around 40 cyclists will converge on Garstang in Lancashire – the world’s first Fairtrade Town - for a 10th Birthday Party. Universities - including Edinburgh, Nottingham, Swansea, and London School of Economics - will declare Fairtrade status during the Fortnight, joining Oxford Brookes and Birmingham which are already Fairtrade universities.“

Tea & Coffee 11/01 - The Fair Trade Ideal: The Ultimate Answer For Sustainability? (Cont) (#)

„Something is just wrong with this picture. Instead of befriending specialty coffee, as has the Smithsonian Institution in their fight to save the migratory bird population, the Fair Traders came at the weakest link with a truncheon, while leaving the guys that matter, the guys that can really help the cause of the farmer unscathed. This is very unsettling. If the Fair Traders actually mean what they say, how come all the pressure was applied in the place it would affect the fewest number of green coffee bags purchased?“

Fairtrade | Suppliers | Growers | Sivapackiam, Fairtrade tea picker (#)

„All workers on tea estates that supply the Fairtrade market have a workers' organisation to represent their interests. In Sivapackiam's case, she represents her fellow workers on a 'Joint Body' which decides the use of the Fairtrade premium. She gives an example of the difference this can make: "A year ago, we didn't have any electricity in our houses.“
