Scaling Up Fair Trade On line marketing interface
October 2016
There are thousands of Asian small producers who need help from the trade, and there are hundreds of businesses around the world, who want to help. But the problem, often, is the place for the intersection of such great hearts to meet and interact. The cost and time for
businesses involved in traveling to the remote villages to source from marginalized producers are often too high or too long. At the Asia Fair Trade Summit, through ‘The Scaling Up Fair Trade’ initiative, we are trying to do the best for both the businesses and the producers.
Presenting an opportunity for the business to reach out to Asian Fair Trade producers from 17 countries producing products from seven different market segments.
No, you don’t need to book your air tickets to tap this opportunity. All you need is a computer or mobile phone with an internet connection. We are bringing Asia’s producers straight from
their farms and places of production to your office. All you need to do is log in, hear, and interact directly with the producers. Through this, through technology, we are planning to
bring all change agents into a single room—well, without a “Room.”
