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.
