Join us in calling for politicians to stand with Fairtrade farmers.

Politicians work for you, so tell them what you value. They need to hear why Fair Trade is important to you, and why Fair Trade farmers are leading the way in building a fairer future. 

What can I do?

• Ask your MS and election candidates to support Wales’s legacy as the worlds first Fair Trade Nation
• Sign the petition to your MP to Brew It Fair and support tea farmers

What is Fair Trade?

More people choosing Fair Trade means extra income, power and support for almost 2 million farmers in more than 70 countries around the world. By making the small switch to Fairtrade, we can all support producers in protecting the future of some of our most-loved food and the planet.

We have a common interest in paying a fair price for what farmers produce. This core Fair Trade principle is applicable to farmers everywhere, here in Wales and around the world. New 2025 polling data reveals a strong and growing commitment among people in Wales to ethical and sustainable shopping.
