Fairtrade Range
Fairtrade is an alternative approach to conventional trade which offers a better price for farmers and workers who produce global commodities, such as coffee, tea, cocoa and bananas in developing countries. We are proud to have so many Fairtrade products in our stores!
Lidl sell 2.65 million Fairtrade Organic Bananas annually.
Fairtrades minimum price aims to ensure that producers can cover their costs of sustainable production. It acts as safety net for farmers at times when world markets fall below a sustainable level.
In addition to the price paid for the product, there is an additional sum of money, called the Fairtrade Premium, that farmers receive for products sold on Fairtrade terms. This money goes into a communal fund for workers and farmers to use to improve their social, economic and environmental conditions.
