Re: Fairtrade Fortnight
I don’t disagree Gayle, I farmed in Garstang on a regular basis and I aware of there status, I also shop at Sainsbury’s in Bispham and regularly purchase Fair Trade goods. But it is somewhat of a con when it’s the main markets that are still setting prices and there is little reliable monitoring of what’s getting to the people who need the income i.e. the workers. But what really concerns me is the lack of internal investment in our own producers whilst all this is going on…..
