Farmers, farm workers, their families and consumers of fair trade coffee and tea all benefit from the purchase of Certified fair trade coffee and tea. Farmers among Fair Trade Certified producer groups are guaranteed a fair price for their crop, and are empowered to compete in the global marketplace through direct, long-term contracts with international buyers. This market access lifts farming families from poverty through trade – not aid – keeping food on the table, children in school and families on their land.
Workers on Fair Trade Certified farms are guaranteed fair wages and safe working conditions, and forced child labor is prohibited.
Producers on Fair Trade Certified farms are also paid an additional social premium for use on long-term community and business development projects such as healthcare, scholarships, women’s leadership initiatives and micro-finance programs, as voted on by the farmers and workers themselves.
The Fair Trade Certified label is a consumer’s guarantee that the product they purchase contains ingredients that have been sourced using Fair Trade certification standards.
