Global Exchange : 'Chocolate with a Conscience' Offered (#)

  „TransFair USA is part of a world-wide movement that offers consumers the choice of buying chocolate with the 'fair trade' label. "Whenever consumers see this label, 'fair trade certified,'" says Opal, "they know that a third party made sure that the farmers got a fair price, the importers paid a fair price, all the way to the end consumer."“

  „Yet a general comparison of the prices in a broad food category, say, all chocolate bars, shows that the fair-trade items generally cost 7 to 12 percent more, according to Tradecraft, a pioneering British fair-trade importer. This extra cost involves a somewhat unfair comparison between a gourmet fair-trade food item and a nongourmet conventional food item, but it suggests that fair-trade items have yet to match in price what the majority of consumers are paying.“
