Fair Trade Chocolate witnessed a steep growth in demand in the recent years

The "fair trade" pertains to the various crucial international policies for the agricultural products which include the coffee, tea, spices, sugar, honey, cocoa and chocolate of course.  When you purchase these fair certified goods, you aren't unknowingly supporting the most exploitative labour practices that usually take place in many of the third-world countries.  You are supporting a human-friendly and also an eco-friendly approach to the process of the food production.

In the fair practices, the prices are particularly established democratically by the millions of the farmers and also guarantee their families a particular living wage. The safe working conditions are particularly enforced and the child labour is particularly forbidden.  The trade policies that promote the sustainable farming methods also prohibit the genetically modified organisms (GMOs).  They also extend into the various community development programs which include particularly the health care and the building of some new schools, often in the poverty-stricken areas. The Fair trade chocolate products are very competitively priced with other good specialty or gourmet chocolate items.  You will often find they are some of the best-tasting chocolates available. The artisan chocolates are one among the many which is worth mentioning.

Another benefit is that many of the certified fair products are particularly packaged in the post-consumer recycled materials. The Chocolate bar labels make use of the soy inks, and the special packing materials are sourced from as locally as possible to save on the cost of packaging. This unique and extremely attractive packaging helps make fair trade chocolates a wonderful, as well as a responsible, gift which can be bought in several occasions.

Some of the best known and reputed organizations for purchasing the Fairtrade chocolate and other artisan goods are the World of Good, the Fair Trade Federation and SERRV as well as tens of thousands of the various retail establishments across the United States.  The national chains including the Giant, Kroger, Wegman's and Whole Foods also carry the fair-certified chocolate products. Now, you will also note the global brands like that of Cadbury incorporating the FTC chocolate into their product lines. The molding chocolates are also another category which is gaining momentum.

With the long and particularly glorious history, Sigep does not even need to be presented at all. Well-known all over the world, not only in Italy, as one of the unmissable events as far as the sector of catering is concerned, the Rimini fair is getting ready to celebrate. A benchmark especially as far as artisan gelato is concerned; year after year Sigep is becoming an increasingly crucial showcase also for the bakery. Gelato, bread and Pizza, everybody knows, are typical Italian products, and it is not accidental that one of the most important events in these fields takes place in Italy.
