Investigate the evolving landscape of fair trade in dynamic markets like Kenya and South Africa. While awareness and demand for fair trade products are growing due to international exposure, we examine significant barriers such as price sensitivity, limited product availability on shelves, and the need for greater consumer awareness.

Learn why fair trade is more than just a certification—it’s a "brand that does good"—and how effectively telling impact stories and the critical role of independent auditing are vital to connecting consumers with the true ethical claims of products.

We also explore how policymakers can foster ethical trade through tax incentives, prioritizing sustainable procurement, and verifying sustainability claims across the board.
