- Key Points If all trade were fair and benefited everyone equally, we wouldn’t need Fairtrade. This unfortunately isn’t the case. The rules and practices of international trade are biased in favour of rich countries and powerful companies, often to the cost of poor producers and the environment. Many farmers and workers in developing countries struggle to provide for their families. Often the price they get paid for their crop does not cover the cost of production. Fairtrade seeks to change this. It is not the solution to all poverty, but it can show one way that trade can work in favour of poor people and the environment. When you see the FAIRTRADE Mark, it means that it has been independently certified to make sure producers are getting a better deal from what they sell. It means that: The producer organisations have received a fair and stable price for their products In addition to the basic price, farmers and workers have the opportunity to improve their lives through an additional premium. They can use this money any way they like to improve their own organisations, or invest in their community. Farmers and workers decided democratically what these projects should be. Fairtrade standards aim to protect and improve the environment , and promote sustainable agricultural practices. With the extra income that farmers receive from Fairtrade, they can also invest in their own environmental projects, such as recycling, tree planting, clean water programmes. Some farmers are also using money from Fairtrade to convert to organic farming methods. Small farmers gain a stronger position in world markets. By working together farmers can be stronger in the market. Fairtrade supports small farmers in building up their own organisations, and helping them to compete in a vicious market place. With Fairtrade, we can feel a closer link with people at the other end of the supply chain, who grow the products we buy.
- Work of FLO e.V and FLO Cert FLO e.V sets Fairtrade standards, including the minimum price and supports producers and traders along the supply chain. They support producers in their compliance with standards and facilitate entry to the Fairtrade system, linking them with business and financial assistance. In addition to this they coordinate around 50 liaison officers, based in country. FLO cert, a separate legal entity and limited company, certify producers to ensure they are conforming to Fairtrade standards as set by FLO e.V. They certify traders to ensure they are conforming to FLO standards and ensure that the Fairtrade premium is used properly. They also cross check reported sales and purchases of Fairtrade products.
- Fairtrade is about more than the minimum price. It aims to build sustainable and fair relationships between producers, traders and buyers. As such the economic standards contain details on pre-finance for example, whereby producers can request up to 60% of payment in advance of crops being grown. Buyers are required to complete full payment within a short timescale, and commit to long term contracts and buying arrangements. Fairtrade offers more than a minimum price and premium, it offers stability trading partnerships in the long run.
