Products bearing the Fairtrade symbol are produced without child labour or forced labour.

Fairtrade products guarantee minimum wages for farmers and do not allow toxic pesticides.

Fairtrade products are regularly inspected.

In the beginning, Fairtrade products were only available in health food shops or Third World shops, but now they can be found in over 30,000 supermarkets and drugstores, such as Real, Penny, Tengelmann or Lidl.

Fairtrade products are mainly coffee, tea, flowers and chocolate, but also cosmetics, clothing and jewellery.

The goods with the Fairtrade label are a little more expensive than other goods, but the buyer gets excellent quality and also does good.

They are a great gift idea, because with Fairtrade you give double joy: to the friend who gets an extraordinary gift and to the people from the developing countries.
