A bit about fair trade cotton.

Cotton is one of the world most oldest commercial crop. 300 million people are much happier now because of fair trade. Fair trade people have bought their product and these farmers got a fair price. The price of cotton has gone down in the last 30 years so farmers are struggling to survive in these countries- India, Kyrgyzstan and West Africa.

Cotton is what some farmers rely on.

Cotton is one of the oldest crops in the world and most relied on.

Some farmers work 13 hours every day and don’t get much money which means they might die because they cant afford any money to buy food.

This is getting better because they are now getting fairer trades and are making more money.

The biggest producers of cotton is from US , China and India.
