What does fair trade mean? You may have heard the term fair trade when purchasing beauty or clothing items but not have a clear idea of what it actually means. Fair trade is the name given to products that come from farmers and workers who are fairly compensated. The money helps workers and farmers in developing countries build a sustainable business and use the free market to their advantage. As an entrepreneur and businesswoman, I support buying fair trade and making a difference in someone else’s life.
You may have heard of women in Morocco who are involved in fair trade communities surrounding argan oil or shea butter. You can feel good about making fair trade purchases. I think that fair trade is an empowering concept and great way to help individuals become their best in business. Do you purchase products that are fair trade?
