Working together to end poverty and injustice

Fairtrade

Choosing Fairtrade products is an easy and effective way to ensure that producers and growers in the developing world get a fair price for their goods so they can work their way out of poverty.

Check Out Fairtrade at your supermarket

Buying Fairtrade products helps thousands of struggling growers in the developing world work their way out of poverty. We need to tell our supermarkets we want them to stock more Fairtrade labelled products so more of us can buy Fairtrade. And unless sales of Fairtrade bananas increase soon, they won’t be available in New Zealand for much longer.

We urgently need to convince more supermarkets to stock Fairtrade products.
