Our Fair Trade

 
Fair trade is an organized  social movement and market-based approach to alleviating global poverty and promoting sustainability. The movement advocates the payment of a fair price as well as social and environmental standards in areas related to the production of a wide variety of  goods. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, most notably handicrafts, coffee,cocoa,sugar, tea,bananas, honey, cotton,wine, fresh fruit, and flowers.
 

Handaffection has set a fair trade category which conctains the crafts from Rural Craft Cooperatives  of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan Province in China. The crafts are paid a fair price compared to the market price and a portion of net profit (20%-50%) from these crafts is used for craft community development (such as setting library, renovation of equipment,production training,quality control etc).

 

Your contribution to our shop will bring great improvement to rural artisans' and their families' living.
