Fair Trade Month is an annual event held in October to raise awareness about fair trade practices and products. It aims to promote fair wages, safe working conditions, and sustainable practices for farmers and workers in developing countries. The goal of the month is to educate consumers about the importance of supporting fair trade products and the positive impact it has on communities around the world.
Fair trade is a trading partnership based on dialogue, transparency, and respect that seeks greater equity in international trade. It aims to provide better trading conditions and promote sustainability by ensuring that producers in developing countries receive fair prices for their products, have safe working conditions, and are empowered to improve their communities.
