Products sold by Fair Trade Organizations are often items like crafts. How can Fair Trade provide stability to producers if it’s based on non-essential items?
Craft items often play an important cultural and practical role in the society in which they’re produced. Clothing, utensils, bowls, baskets, and ritual items are useful in our own lives and in the lives of the producers. As we embrace becoming citizens of the world, our appreciation for cultures other than our own is magnified and extended. Fair Trade gives us the opportunity to acquire items such as table linen, blankets, and decorations that are produced using traditional skills.
