farmers adopt eco-friendly fertilizers to protect the environment.
However, although the fair trade system seems beneficial to farmers, and trades are on the
increase, it actually leaves much room for criticism. For example, getting fair trade certification
is expensive for small businesses and individual producers. They have to split their hard-earne
money for being a fair trade member, which ends up being a burden for the poor producers that fair
trade system originally urges to help. Such high administration fees inevitably lead to the result
that products are sold at much higher prices which weigh on consumers. Hence, customer base
around the world is limited, because not everyone is willing to pay extra fees when they can get
products of the similar quality but with lower prices. Worst of all, the administration fees don't go
to the suppliers but retailers.
Although there are obvious advantages of fair trade system, its disadvantages are likely to
form a vicious circle and may shrink the fair trade market, if the basic problem doesn't get tackled.
