When you choose Fairtrade chocolate, you're choosing fairer prices and more power in the hands of cocoa farmers to build better lives for their families and communities. 🍫 #WorldChocolateDay

Fascinating and heart-breaking interview on @BBCWomansHour Chocolate Special. Dr Nyagoy Nyong'o @Fairtrade_CEO
explains that women cocoa farmers earn 23p PER DAY (5 times less than the men) and often aren't allowed to own their land

So bit irritated to STILL see massive wall in #Woking @Pret implying their coffee is #Fairtrade. It's not. Hasn't been for years. Spoke to staff and they don't care and didn't even know what standards their coffee meets #greenwash #tradedescriptions #notFairtrade

Water is key for farming but is also a justice issue. #WorldWaterDay https://t.co/z8Qi7rpfad

Really enjoying hearing Nasser from @CanaanFairTrade explain how their work has reinvigorated olive farming in #Palestine, raised prices, is energising young people to get involved and sustains old trees, heritage and culture #inspiringstuff #choosefairtrade @Zaytoun_CIC

[Woking Fairtrade @WokingFairtrade]

@Zaytoun_CIC Good to hear Nasser from @CanaanFairTrade say this years' olive harvest has been good, and follows best year ever last year. #oliveharvest #fairtrade #livelihoods #palestine #sustainablepartnerships

[Woking Fairtrade @WokingFairtrade]

Now watching virtual visit to the olive harvest in Palestine with Nasser Abufarha, founder of Canaan Palestine, hearing about this year's olive harvest #oliveharvest #Palestine @Zaytoun_CIC

Gr8 2 C @FairtradeUK's "new game-changing brand messaging" focusses on wider benefits of buying FT products: women's empowerment, tackling climate change, education in marginalised farming communities 👍 - https://t.co/AUkjMSpS1d @SharedInterest @FairTradeNation @FairTradeWales

Fairtrade might no longer be the new kid on the block, but the battle for trade justice has never been more important.

Fairtrade is more than a Mark on a product. It’s a call for change. #ClimateAction

[APPG for Fairtrade @FairtradeAPPG]

This evening @FairtradeAPPG members @HollyLynch5 @JasonMcCartney @GradySNP @RachaelMaskell presented petitions in the House of Commons urging Nestle to rethink decision to end Fairtrade KitKats. It coincides with @Ranavalona111’s petition to Nestle signed by nearly 300,000 people

[Woking Fairtrade @WokingFairtrade]

Oh dear @Pret - still giving false impression that you sell @Fairtrade coffee in @Woking store #misleading #ethicalshopping #Fairtrade

[Woking Fairtrade @WokingFairtrade]

Listening to @harrietharman on @BBCRadio4 this morning talking sense about the need for companies to take responsibility for supply chains they use. Should be no excuse for them to say they didn’t know what was happening in them #exploitation #slavelabour #supplychains.

[Woking Fairtrade @WokingFairtrade]

Pleased to hear @OxfamGuildford is open again. If you're local do think of buying Fairtrade goodies there - they stock fabulous @Zaytoun_CIC products too.

Dear @sainsburys . Please read this From @FairtradeUK
Dear Fairtrade shoppers, did you know that while mourning the demise of Fairtrade KitKat, Sainsburys have dropped FT from their own brand chocolate bars!? Don’t let them get away with it. 1/2

[stellacreasy @stellacreasy]

A new verb - to @KITKAT. Means during a time of crisis to jettison all pretence of having principles and hope no one notices. @nestle are using the pandemic to bury their bad news they are stopping kitkats being fairtrade this autumn, hurting farmers in developing countries.
