A Review of the impact of Fairtrade over the last ten years. Valerie Nelson and Barry Pound
Fairtrade has published a brief summary at www * fairtrade.org.uk/resources/natural resources institute.aspx. For some reason it is witholding the actual review. Disturbingly, one of the authors says that the “report is awaiting finalization by Fairtrade Foundation who commissioned it” Why were they not both put on the web the moment they were received? What does “finalization” mean?
The review has been written by an anthropologist and an agriculturist. There is no sign of any economic or marketing analysis. There is no sign from the summary that it addressed the hundred questions raised by me and others.
