All of the Society’s Food stores stock a range of Fairtrade products from Fairtrade bananas to Fairtrade chocolate.
Fairtrade means that producers are promised a stable price and develops long term trading relationships with producers in developing countries which offers them a better deal.
Through these long term relationships, stable prices and the Fairtrade premium they receive for their products they are able to invest in projects within their communities for example educational equipment, medical equipment and water supplies.
The Co-operative Movement has been a supporter of Fairtrade since 1992. Since then the range of Fairtrade products has continued to grow with all the Co-operative own brand hot beverage range now being Fairtrade.
