Stick with Foncho

Yesterday was the start of Fairtrade Fortnight. It's now 20 years since the first Fairtrade products appeared on the shelves of British supermarkets - and now there are hundreds of different items that carry the Fairtrade Mark.

It's not just about tea, coffee and chocolate anymore. If you're buying footballs, wine, clothing or flowers there will be a Fairtrade option.

I expect that if most people had to list items that came Fairtrade, bananas would be fairly high up the list. But still 2/3 of bananas in the UK are not Fairtrade and bitter price wars in the UK between the supermarkets is putting banana farmers at risk.

That's why bananas are the focus of this year's Fairtrade Fortnight campaign.
