If you are part of a Producer organisation
interested in becoming Fairtrade certified, please read the Fairtrade
Standards on our website. If you think your organisation can meet
the Standards, you can contact FLO at certification@flo-cert.net.
In your mail, indicate your interest and inform FLO about the following
points:
• What type of legal entity is your organisation? (Is it an
Association or a Cooperative or a Company, etc)
• Number of members and /or workers your organisation
has and how they participate in decision taking processes.
• Market position; if you currently export, please indicate
where to and how.
• Product type/variety, quality and quantity available for
export.
• Is (part of your) production certified by an organic certification
body?
When FLO considers that there is a Fairtrade market potential for
this product from your producer organisation, FLO will send a standard
questionnaire to you to know more about your organisation. If the
evaluation of the questionnaire is positive, FLO will perform a first
inspection visit. The report of that inspection visit will be discussed
by the independent Certification Committee, which will also take the
decision whether to certify or not.
In the affirmative case, the certification is formalised with the
signing of the contract by your producer organisation and FLO International.
In this contract the rights and obligations of both will be explained.
FLO will inform the producer organisation about the certification
decision in writing.
