Résumé |
Abstract : “In Peru handicraft production is an activity complementary to agriculture which transmits cultural traditions across the generations. This article presents an analysis of the Fair Trade practices inside two organizations which support the production and marketing of Peruvian artisanal handicrafts. First, basic information is presented concerning the Fair Trade, its definition, practices, and products. Next, information regarding Peruvian artisanal products is presented as along with Fair Trade handcrafts export data. Two handicrafts producer organizations are then analyzed as case studies of Fair Trade practices carried out for producer communities in the Peruvian Andes where conditions of extreme poverty predominate. Through these case studies the article provides a detailed description of how the implementation of Fair Trade practices in the selected Peruvian handicrafts producer organizations has helped them enhance their markets."
