Fairtrade Premium
The Fairtrade Premium is an extra sum of money paid to farmers and workers when they sell their products, such as coffee or chocolate, through Fairtrade certification. This additional money is not for individual use but is invested collectively in community projects like schools, healthcare, or infrastructure improvements. The goal is to empower producers, improve their quality of life, and promote sustainable development. Essentially, it ensures fairer compensation and supports positive growth within producer communities while maintaining ethical trade standards.
