  9. How could the products be traded more fairly? Freer and fairer trade? • MEDCs could • Remove import taxes, tariffs and quotas- this would • Make LEDC products cheaper • Widen their market • Encourage the manufacturing of products by LEDCs (import taxes tend to be higher on manufactured products.) • Reduce subsidies for rich producers i.e. American cotton growers- this would • Enable LEDC farmers to compete • Widen their market • Allow LEDCs to reduce imports, international loans are dependent on opening their markets- this would • Allow LEDCs to protect their local industries as they grow and become competitive.

  10. What’s stopping LEDCs manufacturing Jeans? • Issue inhibiting the development of LEDC economies. • Trade rules • Lack of infrastructure, roads, railways, airports. • Lack of capital for investment in manufacturing and processes. • Lack of skilled workers, due to lack of investment in education and training. • Difficulty in accessing MEDC markets. • Political Stability.

  11. Why do retailers take such a large percentage of the income?

  12. Ethical consumerismis the intentional purchase of products and services that do not exploit humans, and do minimal harm to animals and the natural environment. Ethical consumerism is practiced through 'positive buying' of ethical products and the 'moral boycott‘ of non-ethical products and companies. As sourced, and adapted, from Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethical_consumerism

  13. On top of this a 10% social premium is paid- this is invested in • Community programmes i.e. Health care. • Improved production methods • New equipment • Diversifying into new markets • Fair Trade products also guarantee • Guaranteed prices and markets for the producer • Appropriate working conditions • No child labour • Co-operative and democratic decision marking • Organic production A fairer trade? Fair Trade products guarantee that the producer is paid a price that covers their cost of production.
