<p>DFID is long standing supporter of Fairtrade. Fairtrade plays an important role
in helping producers around the world improve their lives in a sustainable way; ensuring
farmers receive fair prices for their products, workers receive better wages and by
making agricultural practices more sustainable. Fairtrade provides a minimum price
for sales, as well as a premium, and certifies smallholder and plantation supply chains,
as well as extractives such as gold. Producers received an estimated £123 million
premium as a result of being part of a Fairtrade supply chain in 2015.</p>
