Mr. Conall O'Caoimh:

There are Fairtrade conditions in terms of trade union representation, guaranteed price, advance payment and agricultural extension but also a guaranteed sale, which Fairtrade does not give. Those concerned actually have one up on the basic Fairtrade arrangement.

When I state ours is an ethical organisation, I mean that we examine the supply chain and make sure the product is up to the required standard. We are not trying to promote any product that does not meet that standard.
