The project will enable the Indian Fair Trade producer groups to improve their businesses through greater engagement with the Fair Trade movement. The project will also enable buyers, producers and consumers cooperating to increase Fair Trade impact.
The project is a joint initiative by FTF-I, Traidcraft Exchange–UK, and FAKT-Germany. The project is funded by the European Commission and BTC (Belgium Technical Cooperation).
Fair Trade plus project is passing through its most important phase of producer level workshops. Nine trainers with the support of four mentors have already completed workshops in 95 producer groups in the length and breadth of the country. While finishing the 100 plus producer group workshops in the month of December 2009, Fair Trade Plus project will be reaching out to more than 2000 producers, with the awareness and experience of Fair Trade and its EU market perspective.
