UNTIL March 14, it is Fairtrade Fortnight, which aims to tell more people about 'fair trade' and encourages them to shop fairly.
Many of the products we buy exploit the producers in some way, so when shopping look for the Fair Trade Mark. This means the producer gets a fair price for his goods.
Fair Trade goods are available from most supermarkets, selected Oxfam shops and other quality outlets.
