None of these solutions would in isolation solve the problems on tropical fruit plantations. However, we think it’s good to know what steps can be taken to improve conditions… We believe that some certification systems have brought significant benefits to small producers. However it is far harder to identify the benefits for workers of such systems, which often fail to effectively support the work of independent trade unions. Plantation workers are often denied the right to organise freely into trade unions and thus take collective action to improve their conditions at work. Fair trade is a method of trading which aims to provide direct and effective support for marginalised producers from developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The World Banana Forum is a platform for dialogue between stakeholders from the whole banana production and distribution chain, including supermarkets, trade unions, NGOs and governments. Many European companies benefit financially from operations based outside the EU – such as tropical fruit plantations – yet evade responsibility under EU regulation for their impact on employment conditions, wage levels and environmental practices. We believe that EU regulation should be changed to address this issue.

Nijedno rješenje ne bi samostalno riješilo probleme na plantažama tropskog voća. Ipak, mislimo da je dobro znati koje je korake potrebno poduzeti kako bismo poboljšali stanje. Smatramo da su certifikacijski sustavi malim proizvođačima donijeli značajnu korist. Međutim, upitno je jesu li korist ostvarili radnici u takvim sustavima, gdje se često ne podupire rad neovisnih sindikata. Radnici na plantažama često se ne smiju samoorganizirati u sindikate, odnosno ne mogu zajednički djelovati kako bi unaprijedili uvjete rada. Pravedna trgovina način je trgovine koji pokušava izravno pomoći marginaliziranim radnicima u afričkim, azijskim i južnoameričkim zemljama u razvoju. Svjetski forum za banane platforma je za dialog između svih karika u proizvodnom i distributivnom lancu banana, što uključuje supermarkete, sindikate, NVO-e i vlade. Mnoga europska poduzeća financijsku korist ostvaruju djelatnošću izvan EU — na primjer na plantažama tropskog voća — ali zaobilaze europske propise u vezi s uvjetima rada, plaćama i očuvanjem okoliša. Smatramo da propise EU treba izmijeniti kako bi se njihovo izbjegavanje onemogućilo.
