  18. Why might Fairtrade not change every producer's life?

    • Fairtrade guarantees that every producer becomes a millionaire
    • Fairtrade has no rules at all, so producers cannot be checked and there is no way to confirm any outcome
    • Joining costs and strict rules can exclude some farmers, and demand may be limited
    • Fairtrade removes all trade between countries

  19. Which judgement about Fairtrade is best supported by the evidence?

    • It gives real gains such as a safer price and community funds, but its limits mean it is not a complete solution
    • It is a complete solution that ends poverty for every producer
    • It has no benefit at all, because every producer keeps the same share of the price, whatever scheme they join or leave
    • It only helps shops, because producers never receive any of the price

  20. Why is the farmer's share of a £1 chocolate bar so small?

    • The shop gives the farmer a free share of its profits
    • The farmer is paid by the government instead of the shop, so the shop keeps nothing for its own costs
    • The farmer does not grow any cocoa beans for the bar
    • Many middle stages, such as the factory, brand and shop, take most of the value
