Who are you?: I am Barbara, Fairtrade Business Development Officer for Aberdeen for a Fairer World. I love Fairtrade as it eases my conscience. I worry that I have so much when so many people have so little in our world.
What is your Fairtrade item?: My #Fairtrade item is @revolver coffee. I love it because they delivered to my door in #Lockdown, all their coffee and tea are #fairtrade, they are a co-operative and they get their coffee from co-operatives which means the workers are co-owners and are treated fairly, and can decide for themselves where to spend the fairtrade social premium in their communities.
Why?: Not many people know that coffee is the second most traded commodity – after oil. We know that means there is a huge disparity between price the producer gets and the price we pay for our coffee – all those fat cat middle men. Revolver reinvests 25% of their profits into producer communities – That makes my coffee taste all the better. https://revolverworld.com/
