Dash around after blonde European, thus giving producers a proper deal (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
fair trade
'dash around after blonde european thus giving producers' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'a proper deal' is the wordplay.
'a proper' becomes 'fair' (I've seen this in another clue).
'deal' becomes 'trade' (synonyms).
'fair'+'trade'='FAIR-TRADE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fair trade that I've seen before include "principle of decent business deals" , "Ethical form of commerce" , "equitable dealing" , "Ethically sourced" , "Honest dealing" .)
