Make a Global Impact During National Fair Trade Month

National Fair Trade Month, observed in October, is a time to celebrate and raise awareness about the principles of fair trade. It's a month dedicated to recognizing the importance of ethical and sustainable business practices in global trade. Fair trade promotes fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmentally responsible production methods, ultimately empowering marginalized communities and promoting economic justice. During this month, shoppers are encouraged to choose products (#FindFairTrade) that bear the fair trade label, supporting farmers and artisans in developing countries while enjoying high-quality goods. National Fair Trade Month reminds us of the power we hold as consumers to make choices that positively impact the lives of people worldwide and the health of our planet.

MYTHS ABOUT FAIR TRADE

It’s Charity

Fair Trade is not a charity. Fair Trade is a global movement that makes sustainable development goals for small businesses, such as local farmers and artisans, a reality. It is about providing quality products, improving lives, and protecting the environment.

It’s More Expensive

Most fair trade items are competitively priced with American goods that are also handmade.

It Takes Away U.S. Jobs

Most of the products and services offered through fair trade are not generally available in the U.S. These unique products represent diversity, and culture, and are not replacing U.S. products and services.

WHY SHOULD I SUPPORT FAIR TRADE MONTH?

It Supports a Fair System

The Fair Trade Federation is a non-profit trade association that provides support to and promotes U.S. businesses that they recognize as being entirely committed to the principles of fair trade. The business is held accountable for operating under a higher standard of respect and transparency.

It’s About Creating Opportunity

The fair trade system spreads this opportunity to developing nations and business people. This helps business owners and entrepreneurs in developing countries have a chance to succeed in creating their own business and well-being.

It’s fun!

While searching for new businesses that are Fair Trade certified, you’ll find all kinds of unique, international products, cultures, and ways of life that you may not normally find.
