“Everyone’s delighted we have obtained Fairtrade Status. The great thing now is to keep it going. I think there are plenty of retail outlets that now realise the market that is there, and it’s very important they do. In the long term it’s going to be of tremendous benefit for the growers in the Third World. Guernsey people are incredibly generous and when challenged by something like Fairtrade they respond.”

Sir de Vic Carey, Bailiwick of Guernsey Patron. 

By changing to Fairtrade today, you can change the lives of farmers and producers across the developing world. We need to get more people to change to Fairtrade now to demonstrate our support for producers and express our dissatisfaction with the unfair trade rules that currently keep millions of people in poverty. A simple action like buying a Fairtrade product can trigger a positive change in peoples’ lives in developing countries as well as sending a message to our own leaders that we want change in global trade rules.
