Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions and fair terms of
trade for sugar producers. It’s about supporting the development of thriving
farmer and worker communities that have more control over their futures and
protecting the environment in which they live and work.

WHY CHOOSE FAIRTRADE SUGAR?

A FAIR DEAL FOR FARMERS
EVERY TIME YOU CHOOSE
FAIRTRADE SUGAR YOU KNOW
THAT FARMERS and workers
ARE GETTING A FAIR DEAL
Sugar from sugar cane is often the most
important source of income in low-income areas
in African, Caribbean or Pacific countries.
The world sugar price tends to change its
direction both quickly and sharply. This makes
planning a challenge for smallholder sugar
farmers. They also often live in areas with poor
infrastructure, which hampers regional
development and makes access to markets
difficult.
Fairtrade Makes a Difference
Fairtrade Premium
Small-scale farmers benefit from a Fairtrade
Premium paid on top of the regular sales price.
Producer organizations use this money to foster
organizational, environmental and productivity
progress, to make direct payments to its
members, and to finance community projects.
