Fair Trade Improved Farmers Lives Beyond Expectation

The story of the Cauquenes Cooperative is not just a story about individuals. Fair Trade has enabled the cooperative to improve the quality of life for many families by bringing better educational opportunities for children, a better health system and access to credit for housing improvements. By participating in Fair Trade and selling producers’ wine grapes, many rural families have received more income than they expected. Fair Trade enables families to acquire more goods and services and as so advance towards a fuller life.
