Bridge the gap between producer and consumer. Consumers are increasing their demand to know where their products are coming from. Through Fair Trade, consumers have access to many parts of the supply chain and are confident that each supply chain participant is being paid a fair wage and is treated with respect. Many companies attach stories about their farmers or artisans to their products to inform consumers about the creators of their products. This helps strengthen the connection between the consumer and the producer and gives each product a face and identity.
Fairly traded crafts and products generally do not cost more than conventionally traded goods. This is because there are only 1 to 2 middlemen between the end-customer and the producer/farmer. In the fair trade product lifecycle, many middlemen are cut, since wholesalers and even some retailers work directly with the producers. This enables the cost of the product to stay the same, while re-distributing the amount of money that goes to the producer.
