A shop proudly displays the Fairtrade logo explaining its meaning and intentions yet none of the products displayed have the official fair trade logo on them.  On asking the shop attendant, she insisted that products are Fairtrade certified, bought from Fairtrade fairs and imported from Madasgascar.  How can customers be sure that products are really Fairtrade with the money going in the right pockets?   Before buying fair trade products, customers are encouraged to ask for Fairtrade certification if the product does not show the official Fairtrade logo.
