Complete the labels on the pie chart to show where our money goes when we buy non-Fairtrade chocolate, and what percentages go to which
Group
1) Complete the diagram so that all percentages and labels are written down e.g. Farmers 3%,
Chocolate companies____%, etc
2) Colour in the segments in different colours
3) Add more information to each segment to explain what it does eg Shops – pays wages to shop workers...

Fairly traded goods do not necessarily have different percentages to non-Fairtrade goods, but they guarantee farmers receive a certain income
The following graphs help to show this
…

• Fairtrade acts to give the farmer a guaranteed price and also a “Social Premium” (extra money)… unfortunately since none of the other groups want to lose out it means that we, the buyers often have to pay a higher price
• It is hoped that as more of the consumers put pressure on the shops and producers then the prices will come down without the farmers having to pay the price
• What do you think the farmer uses the Social
Premium (extra money) for?
