Barriers to Fair Trade
(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract:
Producers and sellers of goods do not start with a "level playing field". As prices for raw materials fall, small scale farmers in developing countries suffer. Even though the prices paid to the farmers decrease, we see little difference in prices of the goods on our shelves. There are many obstacles which prevent a just trading system. Students need to explore the international trade system and determine why it is unjust.
