European Fair Trade Fair

2nd edition on 2nd, 3rd and 4th of October 2009 in Lyon – France

Are producers better paid? What is a fair price? Is this realistic ? What are the impacts? How does it relate to the crisis?

We have all heard about Fair Trade. But what does it really mean?

You can find answers at the European Fair Trade Fair this October 2-4, 2009 at the Halle Tony Garnier in Lyon (France) : a show of 6000 square meters will host 200 exhibitors and 20,000 visitors from all over the world.

Fair Trade products, conferences, and entertaining events are waiting for you!
