In Uganda, the Good African Coffee company, in conjunction with ITC, is demonstrating how public-private partnership can make a significant impact on low-income rural communities. About 85% of Ugandans are farmers, but only a small percentage of Uganda's gross domestic product comes from agriculture due to lack of access to markets, poor export strategies and crude farming techniques. In 2007 the Ugandan public and private sectors launched their National Export Strategy and identified organic production as a promising market opportunity for smallholders who traditionally had the most precarious livelihoods and lowest incomes. Following on from this, in 2009 ITC's Trade and Environment Program helped more than 2,000 smallholder coffee farmers, mostly women, to convert to organic producti...

Many developing countries are ill equipped to take advantage of the opportunities provided by trade. Weak infrastructure lack of capacity and the inability to meet technical product specifications and stringent requirements in terms of quality, safety health and the environment impede their integration into global markets.

In the rules-based trading system, the agro-food sector provides immediate opportunities as many developing countries have good climatic conditions, available arable land and a sufficient pool of labor to expand agricultural production. The technical regulations and standards appli...

Although some of the clothing sold at Ekovaruhuset may contain synthetic zippers, buttons or threads, all of the clothing is made from certified organic fabrics. "The fibers that the fabrics are made from were grown without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. They were made into cloth without leaching gases into the atmosphere, then dyed by processes that are environmentally responsible," [Johanna Hofring] said. "The wools we use come from animals that have been treated well and have never had to experience chemical baths or other torturous processes. We are in close contact with the designers and manufacturers we represent and we know they work according to Fair Made guidelines." Fair Made is the term that Hofring prefers, because it indicates that neither land, animals, nor...
Stories are one of the great forces of the universe; they can pull people together or drive them apart; they make people laugh, or cry, or lean in spellbound; they give people values to believe in and reasons for being. Consumers are vital to the shaping of these stories for they make the private sector work through businesses and brands. The global information revolution is creating a new culture of radical transparency, and a new meritocracy. The fact that consumers are demanding higher ethical standards is a huge creative spur for many businesses. The spectacular events of the past several weeks in financial markets and, more broadly, in the global economy will continue to have far reaching effects on consumer behavior. Consumers will find their own balance between values and 'value'...
