Fair Trade is an organized social movement that aims to help people in developing countries obtain better trading conditions and promote sustainability. The movement advocates the payment of a higher price to producers  as well as social and environmental standards. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, most notably artwork & handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fresh fruit, chocolate and flowers.

Here is a beautiful selection of fair-trade art and handicrafts from around the world, that were ethically produced.

Always do your homework when researching Fair Trade Wholesale companies. A great reference website that has been around forever is called Happy Hippie. I’ve linked you to the wholesale category, but it’s a fun site to surf and you’ll probably find some more fair-trade wholesale companies in other categories as well. Some popular fair-trade stores that offer wholesale are: The Global Exchange Fair Trade Store is your Online Source for Socially Conscious Gifts . They also offer Corporate Gifts. Their Corporate Gift Program offers gift-giving strategies tailored specifically to your company’s needs. Unlike mainstream programs, theirs is based on high quality, socially conscious gifts.
