FAIR TRADE PRODUCTS

Bananas come from banana trees.Every year there are consumed about 100 million metric tonnes.Colombia, Costa Rica, Philippines and Ecuador are the biggest exporters of bananas.Bananas are some of the best selling fair trade things.

In many plantations, people often work very long time every day, often between 12 to 14 hours and they don‘t get money, but Fair trade companies are trying to change it.If you want to help, come and buy some fair trade product!

produced by 40 million small farmers who are some of the poorest in the world.

The countries and big companies don‘t pay them much money, so the producers are very poor.
