The special importance
of fair trade
Making sure that the Fair Trade premium of 0.50 EUR / kg DRC (Dry Rubber Content) has not only been paid but spent according to Fair Rubber Association regulations.
Les agriculteurs eux-mêmes ne conservent que 30% de la prime de commerce équitable, 20% sont retenus pour renforcer la coopérative - et 50% sont accordés aux travailleurs, qui récoltent le caoutchouc.
Farmers themselves retain only 30% of the fair trade premium, 20% are retained to strengthen the cooperative - and 50% are awarded to workers who harvest the rubber. Farmers will share the benefits of fair trade with people who harvest rubber, often they are migrant workers.
