Scams in Fair Trade
The idea of Fair Trade was established to help support coffee growers and to set a fair price on what they do. The system was designed to help out the poor people.
It seems to be making it worse not better, results from a study showed that some people had some hateful things to say about this scam/issue. Fair Trade are ruling out the possibility of using some more efficient ways for production, Fair Trade make the poor get paid better but at the price they ask you to pay you could become poor or they could remain poor. Another issue/scam is to do with community projects, some of that Fair Trade premium is meant to be spent on public goods in public areas , which is good because it shows people want to help out the poor who are in need of things. But then it leads us back to the first problem which is the buyers might be poor or may be going poor. (Forbes, 2014 )
