    Sub-Saharan Africa

    During the period of 600 BCE to 600 CE, the Bantu-speaking Africans gradually began to interact with humans and the environment by settling into varying parts of West and East Africa and creating a network with their neighbors in order to receive new technologies and foods. The Bantu exchanged goods with local hunter-gatherers, and the people cut into forests and settled down into villages. The Assyrians first brought iron to Egypt around 600 BCE and it quickly spread to Sub-Saharan Africa. Around 200 CE, Indonesians settled on the coast bringing Asian bananas and, since they had a higher yield than African bananas, they spread inland and improved the food supply. People from southern Arabia established settlements on the coast near the Ethiopian highlands and through mixing with local residents, formed a new language known as Ge'ez (later Axum).…

The exporters are mainly advanced countries such as U.S, Europe, and so on. Simply, the fair trade movement improves the lives of people in the developing world. However, some people point out a problem of limited point of sale. Moreover, there seem to have few more problems about negative aspect of fair trade. Which points should be supported?…
