Ceri Dingle, director of educational charity WorldWrite, said: "Fairtrade is much more about satisfying the Western consumer's guilt. No country has ever become a successful economy by being a farm - they need to industrialise."

najvacsia kritika je na to,ze krajiny zostavaju polnohospodarsky orientovane, zamestnavaju robotnikov iba sezonne, niektori tvrdia, ze free trade je lepsi kvoli dalsiemu vyvoju (efektivnejsie polnohosp. a spol.)

osobne si myslim, ze ak sa budu aj polnohosp. produkty predavat a zveladovat komunita (studne, skoly, nemocnice) je to pozitivne.
