Fair Trade Means:

  •  A fair price paid to small producers

  •  A direct link with small producers' cooperatives

  •  A long-term commitment between the importer and the cooperatives

  •  Decent working and living conditions

  •  Environmentally-friendly agricultural techniques

  •  Direct investment in health and education projects decided by and for local communities from the
     proceed of fair trade.


These objectives are met by building a direct supply chain between producers' cooperatives in the South and trading partners in the North under the strict standards enforced by the Fair Trade certification process.
