Cadbury goes fair trade! |

Cadbury announced this week some very exciting news - their Dairy Milk range will be becoming fair trade in Australia by next Easter!
This switch by the chocolate giant will mean a significant improvement to the incomes of about 40,000 Ghanaian cocoa farmers!
We're really excited about this switch, and hope that other big chocolate companies will follow Cadbury in ensuring that the chocolate that they sell is sourced ethically and that farmers in developing countries get a fair price for their hard work.
In Dunedin this week Global Poverty Project director Hugh Evans and a team of enthusiastic New Zealanders visited the Cadbury factory to thank Cadbury personally for their decision to switch.
