“Fair Trade Guidebook” aims at providing the most important information about the Fair Trade system making it possible for each consumer to contribute to the positive developments in the developing countries.

“Fair Trade Guidebook” provides a short overview of this alternative trade system, describes its operating principles and advantages compared to conventional trade (fair pay, environmentally sustainable, no forced and child labour, premiums for business and community needs), shows the geography of the farms covered by the Fair Trade system, introduces the range of products certified by Fairtrade.

Statistical information is provided in diagrams and there are many pictures and illustrations in “Fair Trade Guidebook”.

The guidebook is part of the Project “Fair Trade: Awareness Raising”, co-financed by the European Union.
