Read the text and choose the correct word to complete each gap correctly Go into a UK supermarket, and you'll probably come a logo marking out certain items as "fair trade". The first labels appeared on brands of coffee. Today, fair trade products include rice, cotton and fresh fruit. Yet, as you stand in the supermarket examining the two bananas, one with a label and one without, you may ask yourself, "What's the difference?" To see the difference, we have to look at where our money goes. Most produce from South America and Africa is brought to the UK by large multinational companies. Worldwide trade in bananas, for example, is almost entirely controlled by five brands. These companies cheap bananas on their plantations, and most of the profit ends up in the owners' pockets, while workers are paid the lowest possible wage. As a result, the local economy can't , and small farms struggle. In protest against this, fair trade organisations are now purchasing produce directly from farms at reasonable prices. Farmers can consequently afford to use environmentally friendly farming rather than the harmful pesticides used on plantations. So, when comparing the two bananas in the supermarket, telling the difference is easy. The unlabelled one may be cheaper, but that doesn't make it a better purchase. Fair trade products give farmers in developing countries a fair chance in life. With fair trade the increase, it seems more UK shoppers believe the goal of fair trade is worth the extra pennies.
