20th Feb 2008: Fairtrade Fortnight Campaign

Paul and International Development Secretary Douglas Alexander

Fairtrade Fortnight (25^th February – 9^th March) is coming soon.

Fair trade sales are becoming increasingly popular. Every 2 years for the last eight, UK shoppers have doubled the amount of Fair Trade goods they buy. Fair trade sales in the UK have been growing on average at 40 per cent, per year. The total value of fair trade products sold in the UK in 2006 was £284 million, up from £196 million in 2005, and a growth of over 1,000 per cent since 1998.

The Government is in the process of consulting on Fairtrade, and how we can do a bit more as a country to improve the lives of those in the developing world. So email, write, or post on this page below and tell me how you think the Government is doing on Fairtrade and where we can do more to help.
