Cadbury New Zealand has announced plans for its Dairy Milk chocolate to be Fairtrade by Easter 2010.  Cadbury’s decision to use Fairtrade cocoa in its popular dairy milk chocolate bars is a compelling example of the difference consumers have made to the plight of poor farmers in the developing world.

However, there is still a long way to go. Oxfam encourages you to:

* Email Cadbury to congratulate them and ask them to switch their entire line to Fairtrade
* Email Whittakers to encourage them to follow suit
