Scotland has retained its Fair Trade Nation status, but what does Fair Trade actually mean?
Fair Trade means fair prices, safe working conditions, and a better future for farmers and workers in developing countries.
It’s about ethical trade that puts people before profit.
We offer our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Christina McKelvie MSP.
During her time as Minister of International Development we had the great pleasure of witnessing her support for Fair Trade, for fairness in the world, and for global citizenship.

Today is the 20th Anniversary of Dundee as a Fairtrade City.
We are delighted that @ChrisLawSNP and @michaeljmarra have tabled motions in the House of Commons and in the Scottish Parliament to mark this anniversary.
