Abstract

Although most people know readily know of Free trade, relatively very few have heard of fair trade. That being said fair trade has been around for decades, in various shapes and structures. This paper will consider the overall fair trade debate, and consider both sides of the issue, analyzing the pros and cons. In answering the question as to whether or not fair trade networks work, the networks can work if they receive both the backing of government, consumers and multiple retail channels, and the fair trade products in question are tailored to specific consumer tastes and preferences (product differentiation). However, truthfully, fair traders and fair trade networks face an uphill battle given the prevalence of the free trade system as it exits today, and one which benefits the rich North and its multinationals at the expense of Southern producers.
