Why fairtrade is needed?
聽力練習腳本
Do you know that over 90 percent of what you spend on your daily cup of coffee goes into the pockets of traders and coffee companies? Do you know that coffee farmers often have to give in to a price that is only a small part of the coffee’s value? Coffee beans are grown by the farmers or workers. Traders buy the beans and sell them to other countries, and large companies bring this product to consumers. Coffee farmers and workers in developing countries are usually isolated from the coffee market, so they are unable to get what they deserve for their work. Usually, they can’t decide the price of their coffee beans and have no choice but to agree with the price offered by the traders. Fair trade guarantees a safe working environment and a minimum price for their coffee beans. The farmers can earn better incomes, and this can be three to five times as much as they earned before. They can hold on to their land and build a better life for their families.

聽力腳本中譯
你知道你每天花在咖啡上的錢之中超過百分之九十都進入了中盤商及咖啡公司的口袋嗎？你知道咖啡農夫真正獲得的酬勞與咖啡的價格相比根本是微乎其微嗎？咖啡豆由農夫或工人所種植。中盤商會買下這些豆子然後轉賣到其他國家，而大公司會把這些產品賣給消費者。在開發中國家的農夫和工人們通常會被咖啡市場所孤立，所以他們沒有辦法得到他們努力工作所應得的報酬。大多時候，他們沒有辦法決定咖啡豆的價錢，別無選擇只能接受中盤商人所提供的價格。公平交易保障農夫一個安全的工作環境及得到咖啡豆最低的收益。農夫能得到更高的所得，這所得通常是他們以往所賺得的三至五倍。公平交易亦使農夫能夠保留他們的土地，且為他們的家人提供更好的生活。
