Question

什么是Fair Trade

Answer 1

1，维基百科的解释：Fair Trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach that aims to help producers in developing countries and promote sustainability. The movement advocates the payment of a higher price to producers as well as social and environmental standards. 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, chocolate and flowers.
Fair Trade's strategic intent is to work with marginalized producers and workers in order to help them move towards economic self-sufficiency and stability. It also aims to allow them to become greater stakeholders in their own organizations, as well as play a wider role in international trade. Fair Trade proponents include a number of international development aid, social, religious and environmental organizations such as Christian Aid, SERRV International, Oxfam, Amnesty International, Catholic Relief Services, and Caritas International.
2，中国有没有Fair Trade：
据本人调查，目前似乎还没有。中国在fairtrade链中，应当属于生产国，即其生产者生活水平收入及公平事宜需要提高并受到保护，同时环境可持续性需要保护的国家。但是中国的农民，手工生产者目前并没有得到类似fairtrade理念的保护。
中国目前有一家，位于北京的“中扶利民”机构正在做准Fairtrade的贸易，其组织农民工留守家庭的妇女生产手工艺品，然后直销至国外消费市场，给予当地妇女生活收入的提高。但是由于其关注范围和透明程度问题，目前仍未获得fair trade 的标志认证。
3，Fair trade的中文翻译
个人倾向于下列翻译： 道德主义贸易， 公平良性贸易， 贸易同情主义贸易。
