Besa Kabeto, 25, a worker at Herburg roses and graduate of the Women’s School of Leadership (WSOL), which is part-financed by the Gender Empowerment Programme and supports women to complete business plans and diversify their incomes, said: Explaining the importance of choosing Fairtrade this year more than ever,Renato Theodoro,President of CAFESUL coffee co-operativein Brazil,says: ‘We producers ask you to keep consuming Fairtrade products because the Premium that we get when you buy our products is being used for different social actions that contribute to minimising the effects of this pandemic.’

The companies who buy on Fairtrade terms pay an additional Fairtrade Premium to the farmers, who work in co-ops, which is set as a percentage of the total amount they are buying. The co-ops then decide how to use this (i.e. install a water pump, invest in schools or maternity units). There are 20 more days of advent and therefore 20 more chances to win amazing prizes including: ethical coffee; organic beauty; sustainable clothing; tasty treats; and 100% slave-free chocolate from… you guessed it! But, it’s not just prizes on offer…

The Fairtrade Advent Calendar: Win Fairtrade gold earrings

Fairtrade believe the people who earned that Fairtrade Premium know best how to transform their community, so how they spend that money is their decision. This way, farmers can make decisions about what’s best for their farms – and their futures – themselves. But, a certain percentage (25% in coffee, for example) must be used to enhance productivity and quality of crops. The idea is this will help with resilience in the face of climate change.

As well as sourcing and producing their products ethically, Greenypeeps donate 3% of their sales to help local farmers plant and care for rainforest trees in southern Sri Lanka.

The Fairtrade Advent Calendar: Other prizes to look out for

Christmas is a time for giving, andasthe ethical movement continues to gain momentum, it’s the perfect time for us to think more deeply about our products and where they come from. Around the world, farmers and workers toil to produce some of the things we love to eat, drink and wear. Every day of advent, Fairtrade reveals a unique view on one of these communities. We know that Christmas will be quite different this year, with many people left unable to celebrate with their families. With this in mind we hope the prizes up for grabs each day will lift people’s spirits and do right by farmers too. I learnt a lot about gender equality and project management. I have also acquired skills around saving money from the training module. The training gave me inspiration to aspire for better income and life.” This is set by Hotjar to identify a new user’s first session.

Another farmer, Rosemary Achieng, who is a Senior Farm Supervisor in the production department of Panda Flowers – a Fairtrade certified flower farm in Kenya, also said:Fairtrade means fairer pay and more power in the hands of farmers. Fairtrade sets a minimum price safety net that companies must pay farmers for their goods i.e. coffee, cocoa and tea – regardless of its market price. So, if the market price falls the farmers are somewhat protected. And if the price rises, they still have the potential to earn more.
