Le commerce équitable garantit aux petits producteurs des pays du Sud un prix minimum, même quand les cours mondiaux chutent, et une prime qu'ils investissent dans des écoles, des puits ou du matériel. Il concerne surtout le café, le cacao, les bananes, le thé ou le coton. Pour opposer des idées : although + proposition (bien que), however (cependant), despite + nom (malgré).
