What is Fairtrade? The Fairtrade Foundation exists to improve the
position of poor and marginalised producers in the developing world.
The Foundation encourages UK industry and consumers to support fairer

This website brings together Fairtrade supporters from all around Essex with the ultimate aim of establishing Essex as an official Fairtrade County.
