and remote areas, as the fair trade initiative has proven. This is of great relevance for
governments’ challenge of addressing the drain of population from rural areas into
urban settings seeking desperately for income source. This is important for intraestate and local wealth generation. The level of fairness benefits to be obtained can
be supported through government policies to enable agriculture not only for large
agribusiness corporations but also for small farmers. Considering that trade has a
relevant role for wealth and income generation, trade agreements either on regional
or multilateral levels must be prioritised so the sustainability goals are not bypassed.
In conclusion, on a decision maker’s level, the achievements or pitfalls of the fair
trade movement may be managed to contribute further to social entrepreneurship,
assuring the SDG 8 with spillover effects for attaining other sustainable development goals such as SDG 1, SDG 2, SDG 5, SDG 10, SDG 12 and SDG 17.
