Unexpected results of fairtrade

This video features Brigido Soza, President of the Juan Francisco Paz Silva Co-operative in Nicaragua, one of the many small producer co-operatives that supply our tasty nuts. In Nicaragua's case it is Peanuts or Groundnuts. Here he is talking about how the Fairtrade premium that his farmers receive for selling their groundnuts has helped to promote an important cultural festival. This is something you may not readily associate with Fairtrade but is an important part of the whole Fairtrade principle of using the profits from trade to directly benefit the local communities in the places where that actual produce is grown. This can manifest itself in many ways as is demonstrated by Mr Soza.
