FAIR TRADE FOR BRITISH FARMERS

Motion Text

That this House condemns the exploitation of farmers and producers across the world by companies who paybelow cost for goods produced by those who are already in poverty; celebrates the success of the Fairtrade Foundation and the Fairtrade label in tackling this exploitation by promoting ethical purchasing and trade justice for farmers and producers in developing countries; is deeply concerned about unfair trade within the UK food market especially in the dairy sector; and calls for the establishment of a domestic fair trade classification to enable UK farmers to be protected from exploitation by large corporations such as supermarkets.
