OCTOBER IS FAIR TRADE MONTH - a great chance to support true fair trade enterprises including non-profit ones like CACE who are members of the Fair Trade Federation and practice all nine of their fair trade principles. Thanks for supporting us on Thursday, Oct. 5 - GlobalGiving Bonus Day at www.AmazonAlive.net. Following posts will describe each fair trade principle in turn.
We saw a wide variety of tiny tetras, angel fish, arawanas, pirañas, electric eels, spotted stingrays, striped catfish, beautiful discus and other popular ornamental species. They also had sabalo whose export for the aquarium trade is banned since it is a vital source of protein and income for fishing families in the region.
The Marca Loreto gives Garza Viva the right to use the brand for two years. Its benefits include officially recognizing the quality of our products and certifies they were genuinely made in Loreto. This seal can increase their appeal and prestige at local, national, and international levels and create opportunities to participate in national and international events and fairs to increase visibility and sales.
