Home Fair trade (as defined by the Fair Trade Foundation) is about providing reasonable prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and equitable terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. It is about improving the position of producers within the poorest countries so that they are able to sell their goods on a global market and build a stronger, more vital economy.

Take the road north from Nairobi and about 40 miles later you’ll reach Simbi Roses Farm in the Thika region. This is an ideal place to grow flowers, at 1,600 above sea level, a warm climate and a good water supply. The farm started small, in Over the years the area devoted to flower growing has increased, and the workers now grow 40 million Fairtrade roses a year on about 21 hectares. Simbi Roses is one of the leading companies in the Thika region for quality and service. The workers grow over 10 different types of roses for the international market. Their quality of life and that of their communities is improving, thanks to Fairtrade. As part of Fairtrade certification, the workers on the farm receive a premium, a little extra, which enables them to invest in community projects, improving their lives and those around them. On the shores of Lake Naivasha, around 80 kilometres from Nairobi, Bigot Flowers specialises in roses. They grow in modern green houses with drip irrigation to use water efficiently. Bigot Flowers Ltd started growing roses in When they achieved Fairtrade certification in 2008, they made lots of positive changes. It gave the farm access to new markets in Europe and they were able to take on more workers, growing rapidly to 1,000 workers. In this economically disadvantaged part of Kenya, the workers have gained most from these changes. They now earn better wages and enjoy better working conditions. They also receive the additional Fairtrade premium, which is 10% of the selling price of the flowers.
