It gets a fantastic following and press.

It probably has a far higher understanding and following than Red Tractor by the British buying public.

Maybe its time UK Farming had a "Fair" trade backing?

Quite agree. Have always felt it shouldn’t be limited to imported produce.

"Fair trade" tariff on exported cereals, no tariff on imported!

You want nothing to do with it . It works on the assumption that you mistreat your staff in order to make profit. Rather than paying a fair price for produce they use schemes to circumvent fair pricing. Imagine someone rather than offering an extra £10 tonne for your wheat offers to buy your tractor driver a bicycle instead. Supermarkets etc should pay fair prices so farmers in these countries can pay fair wages.
