Information for prospective retailers

Make Fairtrade your Habit

If you are thinking of stocking and supplying Fairtrade goods we hope you will find the following information helpful. To learn more please get in touch with us at Scarborough Fairtrade Action Group

---

Did you know...?

• That there are now over 2000 products with the FAIRTRADE mark? This means that the product has met specific international standards that guarantee producers in Third World countries are getting a fair deal.
• That sales figures for these products doubled last year?
• That brands with the FAIRTRADE mark now account for over 20% of the roast ground coffee market in the UK?
• That there is a campaign to make Scarborough into a Fairtrade Borough with the Borough Council committed to using Fairtrade products and to encouraging their use by others?
• There is a clear and increasing demand for Fairtrade goods from consumers. Many supermarket and cafe chains have switched to Fairtrade following customer pressure.

So it makes sense to make these products widely available.

Converting to Fairtrade

It's easy to make Fairtrade available to your customers. There are hundreds of Fairtrade teas and coffees to choose from as well as Fairtrade hot chocolate, sugar, breakfast cereal, fruit juice and fruit, all at competitive prices. Why not try selling Divine chocolate bars or Geobars to your customers?

You can find local supermarkets which stock these products listed on the Scarborough Fairtrade Website www.fairtradescarborough.org

Speak to your existing supplier about Fairtrade foods. You may be able to source from them. Otherwise, the Out of Home Directory on the Fairtrade Foundation's website www.fairtrade.org.uk/get_involved_cafe.htm lists nationwide suppliers who are registered with the Fairtrade Foundation to supply the out of home market.
