<p>The UK government is a strong supporter of the Fairtrade movement, which plays
an important role in helping producers around the world improve their lives by ensuring
that 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. More than 1.65 million farmers and workers
worldwide have benefitted from being part of Fairtrade certified producer organisations<strong>.</strong></p>
