Fair Trade For All
Your Choice Makes a Difference
by Megan Aftab

At Price Chopper, you can shop for healthy products and exciting flavors. Have you also noticed ways to shop for a better world? That's what the fair trade logo signifies. In the United States, TransFair USA, an independent, third-party certification organization, regulates fair trade standards. The fair trade logo indicates that farmers are paid a living wage for their crops, workers are treated with dignity, and small landholders are part of a co-op or other democratic organization. By purchasing products bearing the Fair Trade Certified label whenever possible, you're voting with your dollars to help improve lives for farmers and farm workers throughout the developing world. Fair Trade Certified products include coffee, tea, chocolate, fruit, rice, sugar, herbs, spices, and even flowers.
