No impoverished ... ( 10 months ago by Rexanglorum)
No impoverished nation has risen out of poverty by protecting local producers from competition and by shunning foreign capital and embracing socialism. India tried those things after indepedence and it cost them four decades of poverty. After they liberalized in 1991, their fortunes have since turned for the better. The best thing poor countries cando is begin to respect property rights, invest in education and infrastructure and embrace micro finance for its citizens.
I absolutely agree ... ( 8 months ago by Slimdawgc)
I absolutely agree that fair trade is the wrong way of approaching things. I agree that development projects are the best way of combatting poverty - like microfinance. Most fair trade projects are in countries that can't truly be classified as developing: Mexico, India, and South Africa.
Thats exactly what ... ( 7 months ago by GregerF)
Thats exactly what you do when buying fair trade, you give farmers the possibility to invest in education, infrastrcture and so on. We all know a lot of countries are currupt and dont give a shit about its people. By buying fair trade they are given the liberty of their own life.
Array ( 7 months ago by GregerF)
Why
ís it the wrong way? A LOT of people in India, mexico and south africa are extremely poor. I guess you need to get some facts before opening your mouth.
I'm actually from ... ( 7 months ago by Slimdawgc)
I'm actually from India, where the percentage of people below the poverty line has decreased from 40% to 25% over the last decade. This is not due to fair trade though: fair trade accounts for less than 5% of the market, and therefore cannot influence the market. I suggest you get some facts before opening YOUR mouth. You sound very patronizing.
Not true. Fair ... ( 7 months ago by Slimdawgc)
Not true. Fair trade benefits a *few* landowners that qualify for it, at the expense of other qualified landowners. It ONLY targets landowners, at the expense of casual labourers that make up the bulk of farm workers. Finally, only 10% of the premium paid for fair trade products makes it back to producers. You really don't have any facts yourself.
Choosing Paying ... ( 7 months ago by Rexanglorum)
Choosing Paying more than the market price is fine, if it buts more money in the hands of a poor person. What is bad is confusing that with trade barriers, which makes people in all countries poorer on balance. For the world's poorest, these government imposed ineffcienies are devestating. The best thing poor coffee growers can to is give up quantity for quality. They can have a larger and more stable income than if they grow commodity coffee. Sadly, many countries' policies have prevented this.
I just proved with ... ( 7 months ago by GregerF)
I just proved with your own words that India is poor. 25% is a lot! then we're just talking about India. No, fair trade isnt the only solution, but for the farmers in the fair trade projekt it is a solution. They are given liberty, more money, in many cases not poluted by venom, money for hospitals/schools/improving the loval society and so on.
Hey there Slimdawgc ... ( 7 months ago by julianchosun)
Hey there Slimdawgc, this is just a purely open question, cos I'm keeping an open mind - I don't know one way or the other whether fair trade is necessarily typically beneficial or not - but, can you tell us where your stat. of 10% of the premium getting back to producers comes from? I'm really interested in more detail on that.
How would you feel ... ( 7 months ago by aratarat2001)
How would you feel if your wage at McDonald's fluctuated with the rate of Big Macs sold? People are dying? The least we can do is pay $0.50 more for a cup of coffee.
What are you ... ( 7 months ago by Slimdawgc)
What are you talking about? The price of coffee doesn't fluctuate violently in the short-run. Wages are mostly determined by supply and demand for labour. $0.50 in the U.S. is worth less than $0.50 in developing nations. The fair trade movement doesn't release statistics regarding the overall social benefits it induces, so I suggest you read "What Tanzania's Coffee Farmers Can Teach The World: A Performance Based Look at the Fair Trade-Free Trade Debate." in Sustainable Development journal.
