The Fairtrade Standards are designed to tackle poverty and empower producers in the poorest countries in the world. The standards apply to both producers and traders.
This page provides key information about the Fairtrade Standards, including our product classification, geographical scope policy, hazardous materials list, and access to the Standards themselves.
Three regional Producer Networks represent and support thousands of Fairtrade certified producer organizations, and close to 2 million farmers and workers.
Your local Fairtrade organisation is the best place to find out where you can buy Fairtrade products, how to become a licensee, or learn what’s happening near you.
Fairtrade International works to share the benefits of trade more equally – through standards, certification, producer support, programmes and advocacy.
Fairtrade changes the way trade works through better prices, decent working conditions and a fairer deal for farmers and workers in developing countries.

There’s happiness in the cooperative! Before [Fairtrade] we didn’t earn enough. Now when I get ill the coop looks after me. Before people came, bought our cocoa and we never saw them again.Issouf Traore, cocoa farmer, ECOOKIM - ECOJAD, Côte d'Ivoire
