Abstract

The fairtrade market is experiencing strong year-on-year growth in markets such as Switzerland, the UK, New Zealand, Australia and the US. While this is from a low base, it demonstrates the potential of this market to not only make a difference to developing world producers, but to increase interest in ethical shopping. During 2004, labelled fairtrade generated an estimated US$100m in producers' additional income thanks to global retail sales (of all fairtrade goods). This represents growth of 49% over the previous year. Fairtrade can no longer be ignored as a growing trend within the food and drinks industry - no matter where you live or whom you supply.

The fairtrade concept originated in the Netherlands more than 20 years ago, and the first fairtrade labelled product was coffee - still one of the most popular fairtrade products - from Mexico.

Fairtrade labelling is starting to appear on supermarket shelves, and consumers are increasingly recognising the fairtrade mark as an opportunity to put their own stamp on ethical consumerism. However, the market remains niche, as does the whole ethical consumerism movement, and there is a long way to go before it occupies a mass-market status. Yet, it seems that more and more consumers are developing a conscience. Purchasing a fairtrade item among the weekly shop comes at a premium price, but also promotes a feel-good factor for the consumer. Opting for a jar of fairtrade coffee over the retailer's private label variant is becoming more common, as consumers learn about the plight of developing country producers and farmers.
