“The Fairtrade cotton standard empowers small farmers and gives them a voice. Democratic structures and cooperation in cooperatives enable them to participate in decision-making. They are heard and can represent their interests. In this way, they actively shape their future and improve their quality of life. Stable minimum prices are guaranteed for their Fairtrade cotton, giving farmers planning security and a stable income. The additional Fairtrade premium enables them to invest in their communities and implement projects to improve their living and working conditions. With STS, we have gained an important platform to highlight the urgent need for these cotton standards in the industry.”
