| Fair Trade standards |
The problems experienced by poor producers and workers in developing countries differ greatly from product to product. The majority of coffee and cocoa, for example, is grown by independent small farmers, working their own land and marketing their produce through a local co-operative.

The concern for workers employed on tea plantations is fair wages and decent working conditions.
