Tesco struggle to get Fairtrade on the shelf

Tesco Ireland have over 20 stores with dedicated Fairtrade sections, but appear to be struggling to keep the products on sale. The picture is of their Mahon Point store in Cork looking distinctly empty ! This was the situation in 4 stores we visited last week, in the build up to Fairtrade Fortnight....Better things are promised just as soon as a new buyer is appointed.
