Fair World Marketplace was a fair trade store
(a Ten Thousand Villages partner store) located in Syracuse/DeWitt, New York. Over seven years, sales from this store provided more than $250,000 in income for artisan and farmer co-ops throughout the world. Declining sales following the 2008 recession forced the store's closure in 2011.
Thank you for your support for fair trade!

Fair Trade known to 20% of Americans

Paul Rice, co-founder of TransFair USA, estimates that 20% of Americans know about fair trade and about 10% actively support it by buying fair trade products. That leaves a lot of potential for growing the American fair trade movement!
