Obviously, not everyone agrees with FairTrade products, with the arguments that it only helps a few people, or that it really doesn't make that much difference and that the increased cost that consumers have to pay doesn't justify the ends.
Now I got the negative out of the way - it is 'FairTrade Fortnight' with events happening across the country and even if you don't support fairtrade products, its a good way of educating, so that younger (and older) people are aware which products come from which country and with education failing so badly to inform generally, I personally feel it kind of rocks.
Personally, I support both local farmers and fairtrade producers and believe both go hand in hand.

Another person here for Fairtrade and agree with your sentiments regarding local farmers.
