Fair Trade is all about making sure the people that grow or make the things we buy get a fair price for what they do
Often it is the people far away who grow foods, such as cocoa beans for your bar of chocolate, who are the ones who get the worst deal from what you buy.
Instead, it is the big international companies and advertising agencies who take most of the profits.
Oxfam is working to get international companies to pay fair prices to the people who make and grow the things we buy. This includes farmers, craftsworkers and other producers, all over the world.
We are also persuading supermarkets that customers want producers to be paid a fair price.

Fair Trade Bananas
After a long campaign, supermarkets started selling Fair Trade bananas. These bananas cost a bit more than other bananas, but by buying them you know that the people who grew them get a good deal. That must be worth the extra cash!
