	“We don't need any charity, we are not beggars. If we are paid a reasonable price for our coffee, then we can do without charity.” Isaías Martínez, UCIRI, México


	FLO International exists to improve the position of the poor and disadvantaged producers in the developing world, by setting the Fairtrade standards and by creating a framework that enables trade to take place at conditions respecting their interest. The National Initiatives, members of FLO International, encourage industry and consumers to support fairer trade and to purchase the products. Products carry a Fairtrade Label, as the independent consumer guarantee that producers in the developing world get a better deal.
