高2・共テ向け｜英語長文問題110（貿易）146語＋和訳・解答解説

Fair trade is a system that tries to make global trade fairer for producers in poorer countries. When farmers grow coffee, cacao, or bananas, they often face unstable prices and have little power in negotiations. Fair trade programs set a minimum price and add a small premium for community projects, so producers can plan for the future. This can reduce child labor and support safer working conditions. Many programs also encourage environmentally friendly farming, such as protecting soil and using fewer chemicals. For consumers, fair trade labels are a simple signal that a product was made with more care for people and the planet. Fair trade is not a perfect solution, and it cannot fix every problem in supply chains. Still, choosing fair trade can push companies to be more responsible and can give producers a stronger voice. Even small choices can influence how markets behave.

Which TWO statements are NOT supported by the passage?

1. Fair trade guarantees producers always earn high profits each year.
2. It helps farmers handle price swings and weak bargaining power.
3. Some plans add extra payments for community services and projects.
4. Buying fair trade products automatically ends all supply chain abuses.
5. Programs may promote safer jobs and reduce child labor risks.
6. Labels let shoppers choose goods made with social concern.
