Fairtrade does very little for farmers in the Third World/developing nations/Global South. It kills some. But it is very good for Western Business. 

A compelling presentation about some of the shortcomings of institutionalized Fairtrade and an argument for the kinds of direct-trade alternatives that many small chocolate makers pursue. I can personally attest about the lack of documentation surrounding the monies that actually make their way to farmers.
