Abstract: On analysis of data from 350 fair trade consumers we found evidence that suggests fair trade consumption seems to be tinged with political activism at least in a U. S. context. We asked consumers whether politics was meaningful in their consumption practices and on regressing the data we found that there is a positive influence of politics as a decision-making criteria and the frequency of fair trade purchases. That is to say, the more consumers report that they use politics in their consumption decision-making process the more fair trade they purchase.
