What Is A Fairtrade County?

A Fairtrade County is when people across a county make a commitment to supporting Fairtrade, and through it to support disadvantaged farmers and communities in the developing world. In practical terms this means:

  • The community will have significant understanding and awareness of the concept of Fairtrade.
  • Fairtrade products will be widely available, bought and used throughout the county.
  • A commitment will have been made to increasing sales and awareness further still through promotional and educational activities..

To achieve this there are 5 specific goals set down by the Fairtrade Foundation which can be found on our 'Becoming A Fairtrade County' page.
