Fair Trade is a term for an arrangement designed to help producers in developing countries achieve sustainable and equitable trade relationships.

The fair trade movement combines the payment of higher prices to exporters with improved social and environmental standards. The movement focuses in particular on commodities, or products that are typically exported from developing countries to developed countries but is also used in domestic markets.

In this Episode I had a talk with Paul Manfred, consultant for the fresh produce industry from farm to table, about the United States, Mexico, and Canada fair trade, this agreement was implemented to supposedly benefit American farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses, however, is far from perfect, not always deliver the intended results and in some specific circumstances it can be unfair and not as equitable as it ought to be.
