Research Highlights:

Fairtrade fruit & vegetables sales are surging in Europe, with revenues almost doubling in 2007. High market growth rates are occurring as consumers become more ethical in their product purchases.

The highest growth is occurring in Western Europe where a number of supermarkets have made pledges to source just fairtrade products. Leading retailers are entering contractual agreements with producers in developing countries to ensure continuity of supply.

The UK market is reporting the highest growth with some supermarkets looking to switch their certain fruit lines entirely to fairtrade. British retailers have the most comprehensive range of fairtrade fruit & vegetables in the world. Apart from extensive product ranges, supermarkets like Sainsbury's are also financing fairtrade projects in third world countries. However, fairtrade products have the largest market share of fresh produce sales in Switzerland where the Max Havelaar label is highly established.

Demand for fairtrade fruit & vegetables is expected to become more evenly spread across Europe as greater supply becomes available and ethical consumerism rises. Growing awareness of fairtrade labels is predicted to stimulate consumer demand.
