Make Fruit Fair!
A not-for-profit cooperative based in the UK
Banana Link works to raise awareness of the poor living and working
conditions faced by many Latin American and West African banana
and pineapple plantation workers as they labour to produce tropical
fruit for UK consumers.
We ask supermarkets and fruit companies to ensure that workers
receive a living wage, that their rights are respected, and that the
intensive use of pesticides in banana and pineapple production is
reduced.
1 in 4 bananas in the UK are now Fairtrade. As a Charity Stakeholder
in the Fairtrade Foundation, Banana Link encourages supermarkets
and other outlets to stock and promote Fairtrade tropical fruit.
Buying tropical fruit is often the closest relationship any of us have
with the developing world – and the consumer choices we make can
have a direct impact on how people are employed and paid and how
their environment is treated. Banana Link encourages consumers to
think about the actions they can take to ensure workers and farmers
get a fair deal.
