FAIR TRADE ONLINE SHOPPING GUIDE
Here is a handy shopping guide to help you find Fair Trade products online from other Australian businesses.
It is now easier than ever to find Fair Trade products online while supporting Australian businesses that try to do the right thing.
When we set up Oz Fair Trade, we never intended to compete but rather to complement the Fair Trade products that existing Australian businesses offer, so that we can give people more choices of beautiful fair trade products and help more producers in the developing world.
Here are some of our favourite fair trade / social businesses in Australia:
