Here are some points to ponder on fair trade:
-
Some non-governmental organizations don’t believe that it’s effective to try to negotiate with institutions like the World Trade Organization. What do you think of this approach?
-
In the context of the global trading system overall, do you think the sale of fair trade products can have much of an impact?
-
How do you think indigenous producers can be given more of a voice in the fair trade system?
-
Will collaboration between Northern and Southern groups always be necessary?
-
What difference might it make to you, as a consumer, if only a certain percentage of a company’s products are fair trade?
-
What do you think about multinational corporations getting into this business? Is “bigger better” in this case?
