By choosing a bar of Fairtrade chocolate you have the power to fight child labour in cocoa farms in West Africa. By choosing Fairtrade coffee or tea, you have the power to incentivise small-scale farmers in Africa in improving the quality of their coffee and in using the land sustainably.

Visit the Fairtrade stand at the Taste of Cape Town between 10-12 April where you can taste a wide variety of the products that make a difference. For a list of Fairtrade products available in South Africa visit www.fairtrade.org.zaimage005 - Copy
