Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world.

Where you see the Fairtrade mark, it means that:

  • A minimum price has been paid to Fairtrade producers.
  • The Fairtrade premium, an extra investment in developing communities and businesses has also been paid.
  • Producers always have a democratic say in decision making - and that's all producers, women included.
  • Farm workers also get rights under Fairtrade like decent wages and being allowed to join unions.
  • The 'Dirty Dozen' of chemicals are forbidden on certified Fairtrade farms protecting humans and the environment.
