Fairtrade Gains Strength in UK, Now What About More-Than-Fairtrade?The Fairtrade trend is not only experiencing increasing popularity in the United States, but it is also gaining ground in the UK. In 2007, the number of Fairtrade products sold doubled from the previous year as large groceries began to become dedicated to selling Fairtrade products. Sainsbury, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer’s were three of Great Britain’s large and popular grocery stores that signed on to selling Fairtrade goods.
We applaud the efforts of UK retailers who are becoming more dedicated to the Fairtrade movement to increase wages and lifestyle of poor farmers in foreign countries and urge more American-based companies to become more socially responsible and follow the UK example.

Although supporting the Fairtrade movement is a start toward helping small farmers abroad, at Beans For Hope we encourage the movement to go a step further to More-than-Fairtrade prices.
The More-Than-Fairtrade philosophy focuses more on giving back to the small farming towns and initiating developmental change, in addition to giving small farmers fairer wages. To find out more about our mission, visit our website at www.beansforhope.com.
