O comércio justo e solidário é alternativa para segmentos populacionais empobrecidos? Estudo de caso em Território Kalunga (GO)

A presentation of the main results and discussions of a study case carried out in Kalunga territory (built up by former slaves´descendants) on the situation and prospects of fair trade in that site, based on the experiment developed by the Kalunga Fair Market enterprise (KMJ), in the small town of Cavalcante (GO). Here are some of the results we can point out: a) The Kalungas are below poverty level, being part of them below destitution level; b) It´s necessary to find alternatives to generate income for community survival; c) KMJ is an enterprise focused on market economy and is far from being a fair trade experience or ethical solidary trade; d) KMJ poses an alternative for the commercialization of Kalunga products and the relationship set up by the enterprise provides a significant increase of the family income; e) The challenge for the building-up of a new model to organize production, distribution and consumption of socially produced goods, as well as the exercise of alternative experiments can indeed be faced by the Kalungas, provided they have the support of public policies which, universal as they are, don´t fail to regard the unique features of their ethnic group.

本研究基于Kalunga公平市场企业（KMJ）在Cavalcante（GO）小镇开展的实践，呈现了针对Kalunga地区（由前奴隶后裔建立）公平贸易现状与前景的案例研究核心结果及讨论。以下是部分关键结果：a) Kalunga居民整体处于贫困线以下，其中部分人口甚至低于赤贫线；b) 需寻找替代收入来源以保障社区存续；c) KMJ是一家以市场经济为导向的企业，远非公平贸易或伦理团结贸易的实践；d) KMJ为Kalunga产品的商业化提供了一种替代路径，且该企业构建的合作关系显著提升了家庭收入；e) Kalunga居民确实能够应对构建社会生产商品的生产、分销与消费新模式的挑战，以及开展替代实践的挑战——前提是他们获得公共政策的支持，这些政策虽具有普遍性，但需充分考虑其族群的独特特征。
