Equal Exchange

94

The origins of Equal Exchange stretch back to 1979 when three voluntary workers returned to Edinburgh after working on aid projects in various parts of Africa. Along with a sister organisation in London, Campaign Co-op, they started buying instant coffee from Bukoba on Lake Victoria in Tanzania. As a result Campaign Coffee was born. The volunteers had seen how small scale farmers were getting into debt due, in part, to the appallingly low prices they received for their products. Aid was not the only answer - direct, fairer trading could help redress the balance! Many years later, after bigger campaigns, more education and better products finally reaching independent retailers and supermarkets, the three volunteers' dreams are beginning to be realised.

Fair Trade is about working with people in the poorest nations to enable them to live in dignity and with hope for the future. Fair Trade works by paying reasonable wages for the work that is performed, by respecting the needs of individuals, by committing to long term relationships, and by providing credit where it is needed most. The Fair Trade movement is the result of thousands of men and women who see the consequences of the imbalance of power between the poorest nations and the richest nations, and feel moved in their hearts to take action to redress this situation. Fair Trade makes a real difference to the lives of the poorest producers.

Sainsbury's

386

In 1994 we were the first major supermarket in the UK to offer Fairtrade food. Today we are the biggest retailer of Fairtrade products in the UK, measured by sales value. Fairtrade offers producers in the developing world access to global trade markets and a guaranteed minimum price for their goods. Fairtrade standards protect producers against global price fluctuations and provide the security needed to plan for the future. Fairtrade also generates a social premium, allowing producers to invest in the development of their own local community. It’s been nearly seven years since we started selling Fairtrade bananas and many of our customers now expect the ethical standards of Fairtrade to apply to many of the products they buy from us. We’re now seeing record demand for Fairtrade amongst our customers. We pledged last year to double our sales of Fairtrade products, and we surpassed this goal by £36 million. Our annual Fairtrade sales now amount to £139 million and we expect them to grow beyond £200 million by the end of 2008/09.

    How deep is Consumer Demand for Fair Trade?

    The most recent data show that the sale of Fair Trade Certified products continued growing strongly last year- an expansion that as been slowed but by no means halted by the current economic recession. This both heartens Fair Trade advocates and suggests future growth in the amounts and range of products that consumers are willing to pay more for in the name of social justice. While the limits to that expansion are hard to predict, several indices-sales data, an international survey of consumer opinions, and the recent large-scale involvement of major corporate retailers- suggest the phenomenon has considerably further to go before exhausting its potential for growth. Globally, the sale of Fair Trade products grew 22% in 2008 to $4.3 billion.
