What is Fairtrade?
A fair price paid to producers in developing countries, plus an extra payment to be invested for community development projects. A long trading commitment without harming the environment. Fair wages and working conditions. No forced labour, child or adult. Rights for women. The right to join trade unions.
Local Products fairly traded in Crickhowell "Think Global - Shop Local" Local farm produce and other foods, craft goods and artworks bought directly by local outlets and sold in Crickhowell are also fairly traded. While we do not have a Farmers' Market, the town is full of shops selling locally produced foods from small suppliers. You have a choice when you go shopping, to make a contribution to helping others. The message from all traders is that demand will lead to goods being stocked, so please ask for Fairtrade products
