International Fair Trade Agreements
Fair trade is a strategy to remove global trade barriers and ensure an equitable and open arrangement between producers, sellers, and consumers.
International Fair Trade Agreements (IFTAs) are formal pacts between two or more nations that create better market access and profit for marginalized producers.
All IFTAs contain principles that are aimed at improving life through higher wages, more humane working conditions, and development of new capabilities.
While there is general agreement that IFTAs broaden trade relations, there are varying opinions on the level of economic benefit or improvement in living conditions for those regions or nations using IFTAs.
