Email Subject:	FAO Peter Smith – Please Stock More Fairtrade Products
Email Body:	Dear Peter, I am a regular customer at one of your supermarkets. I try to buy Fairtrade Certified products whenever possible, because Fairtrade is empowering millions of disadvantaged growers and producers in the developing world to work their way out of poverty. I appreciate the fact that my local supermarket does stock some Fairtrade Products but unfortunately it is a very limited range and they are not easy to find. Internationally there are thousands of Fairtrade Certified products available – including fruit, sugar, rice, spices, juices, nuts as well as coffee, tea and chocolate. If you stock more Fairtrade products, I’ll buy them! Please listen to the growing number of concerned Kiwi consumers and stock more Fairtrade products in your supermarkets to guarantee a fair deal for growers and their communities in the developing world. I look forward to hearing from you.
