FAIRTRADE ISN'T CHARITY
Fairtrade isn't charity. It's an okay way to trade. Farmers growing Neutral® cotton receive a fair price for their crops.
With the Fairtrade minimum price and Fairtrade Premium, they can invest in better tools and send their kids to school. That's okay!
CHALLENGES
SOLUTIONS
UNFAIR GLOBAL MARKET
Subsidies in the west result in artificially low cotton prices making it difficult for cotton farmers to fight their way out of poverty.
RESPECT FOR PEOPLES HARD WORK
Neutral® cotton farmers receive a decent and stable price for their crops, giving them a fair chance to improve their lives for the better.
INSECURITY
Cotton prices are highly volatile. For the world’s 35-50 million small scale farmers that often means high debt or going out of business.
STABLE INCOME
Neutral® cotton farmers always receive the Fairtrade minimum price. This acts as a safety net for farmers in times of falling market prices.
LACK OF HOPE
What future dreams does a cotton farmer have if he’s barely making a living?
A BETTER FUTURE
With Fairtrade Premium, cotton farmers can improve the conditions of their community - like sending their kids to school and invest in better tools.
