Illustrative and not evidence-based. Claims and beliefs of all parties in the Fair Trade debate need to be critically examined in producing these Ratings. In both examples slides in gallery below the price of the FT product is assumed to be higher. But in other cases it will be lower, especially against designer brands. The Weightings for Product Quality and Cheapness are high in slide 1, but all 4 attributes are weighted equally in slide 2 As implied by the Ratings and Weightings. With equal weights the FT product wins with these ratings, but with increased weight to Product Quality and Cheapness this is reversed The Fairtrade Foundation is the independent body in the UK that awards the FAIRTRADE Mark to products which meet international standards set by the certification body Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO).
