Fair Trade

The Morrocco Method strives to honor fair trade principles of sustainability and equity in all of our products. Fair trade products are generally created by smaller producers who are paid fair prices and who pay fair wages to their employees. Fair trade producers practice sustainable, environmentally aware farming and manufacturing.

Q. What is a fair wage?

Producers receive a fair wage when they are paid fairly for their products. This means that workers are paid at least that country's minimum wage. Since the minimum wage is often not enough for basic survival, whenever feasible, workers are paid a living wage, which enables them to cover basic needs, including food, shelter, education and health care for their families. Paying fair wages does not necessarily mean that products cost the consumer more. Since fair trade organizations bypass exploitative middle-people and work directly with producers, they are able to cut costs and return a greater percentage of the retail price to the producers.

Q. Why do fair trade organizations support cooperative workplaces?

Cooperatives and producer associations provide a healthy alternative to large-scale manufacturing and sweatshop conditions, where unprotected workers earn below minimum wage and most of the profits flow to foreign investors and local elites who have little interest in ensuring the long term health of the communities in which they work. Fair trade organizations work primarily with small businesses, worker owned and democratically run cooperatives and associations which bring significant benefits to workers and their communities. By banding together, workers are able to access credit, reduce raw material costs and establish higher and more just prices for their products. Workers earn a greater return on their labor, and profits are distributed more equitably and often reinvested in community projects such as health clinics, child care, education, and literacy training. Workers learn important leadership and organizing skills, enabling self-reliant grassroots-driven development.

Q. How do FTF members practice environmental sustainability?

Many FTF members work directly with producers in regions of high biodiversity to develop products based on sustainable use of their natural resources, giving communities an incentive to preserve their natural environments for future generations.

a word about styrofoam

Styrofoam is one of those man-made "wonders" that was invented without forethought or knowledge as to the environmental effects. The process of manufacturing Styrofoam is a major contributing component to the breakdown of our ozone layer, and we know that styrofoam does not biodegrade. The styrofoam (or any similar filler) that you find with your order is recycled.

We do not buy any styrofoam but we do receive it as protective packaging for inventory from our distributors. If you do not have a use for these Styrofoam pellets, please send them back to us. We will continue to recycle them. We also accept cardboard boxes as part of our recycling efforts.

Any comments or suggestions would be very welcome.

Wishing us all a green planet and a healthy future for the generations to come.
