Is 'Fair Trade' really fair trade in the Didge world?

Recently I have been thinking allot about 'fair trade' and how that term has been used in the Didge world. The reason for fair trade in a nutshell, it helps producers in impoverished country's get better working and trading conditions and gives higher/fairer prices to the producer, these people have to be certified to call there product/company fair trade.

Now with the massive influx of poorly made didgeridoo's in the last decade someone must be getting short pocketed, With the likes of cheap Bamboo, Teak didge's being imported in to the U.K and the U.S from places like South America, India and Korea. You may ask "whats the problem with that?", In my opinion its a fairly big problem because the didge market is being over run with second class instruments and that in turn damages the Authentic didge market because most people would rather buy a less expensive Doo's.

Most of these didge's from South America, India and Korea class/call themselves fair trade instruments but the truth of the matter is that there not because they haven't been accredited this certification, Some of these Didge's are being made un-ethically by the likes of children and adults on very very small pay, I myself have been found guilty of buying one of these doo's many moons ago.

This not only effects the producers of these cheap didges but it also takes buyers away from aboriginal made/crafted Yidaki, What can we doo? we can stop the purchasing of these mass made sticks and spend a little more money on a genuine didge that will play better, look better and make your conscience feel clear.
