They decide together and democratically how to spend the Fairtrade Premium to reach their goals, such as improving their farming, businesses, or health and education in their community. Farmers and workers know best what their priorities and needs are. Since , Fairtrade farmers and workers have received well over half a billion euros in Fairtrade Premium.

Fairtrade products are widely available. The blue countries and territories on the map below have Fairtrade organizations that promote Fairtrade products. Their websites often include a product finder to show you the full variety of Fairtrade products near you.

Even if there isn't a Fairtrade organization where you live, Fairtrade products may still be available — look for our familiar marks on products! Vegetables From artichokes to zucchini and cassava to palm hearts, a wide variety of Fairtrade vegetables, roots, tubers and pulses are available.

You should also look out for its logo to make sure it is definitely FI certified. Fairtrade International was formerly called the Fairtrade Labelling Organisation FLO. Many FI products are certified by FLOCERT, so if a product is marked with this name it is also Fairtrade certified.

If a product features this original Fairtrade Mark without any extra arrows, words, or different colours then this means that all of its contents are certified by Fairtrade International. All of the ingredients or materials in the product are fully traceable — kept separate from non-certified products from field to shelf.

There are however variations on this Fairtrade logo , which indicates that not everything in the product is certified — just some elements of it are.

If you see the Fairtrade Mark with an arrow next to it, it means that all of the materials that can be sourced under Fairtrade conditions were done so though it may contain some materials that Fairtrade International does not certify.

If you spot the same logo but in blue, green and white — instead of black —, it means that an ingredient has been sourced Fairtrade rather than the whole product. Next to the logo it says which ingredients are sourced Fairtrade. Fair for Life was launched in Switzerland in Unlike Fairtrade International, it certifies the whole company group rather than single brands, and has been praised for its comprehensive social and environmental requirements.

It also certifies producers and manufacturers in developed countries, which Fairtrade does not. And it is very transparent, publishing a summary of all of its assessments on its website. Instead, a premium and minimum price are negotiated between buyer and seller.

Fairtrade International only provides certification for certain ingredients such as bananas and cocoa , meaning that only certain products can get the certification.

Some brands have found their own solutions to this, by setting their own standards. Some of these criteria are mandatory in order for companies to join the WFTO.

Companies that join can use the "Guaranteed Fair Trade" mark. Starbucks has its own, in-house coffee label, called C. Practices Coffee And Farmer Equity Practices. Own-brand schemes will likely have a less independent third-party enforcement mechanism than established certifying bodies.

While some organic certifications may include criteria to protect workers, they are not equivalent to fair trade, and their focus is mainly environmental. Products can be both Fairtrade and organic, so look out for this if you want to find the best of the bunch when it comes to social and environmental criteria.

Divine has been selling Fairtrade chocolate for over 20 years. Established through a collaboration between the Ghanaian Kuapa Kokoo cocoa farmers co-op and a fair trade company called Twin Trading in the mids, it launched its first bar in with the support of Christian Aid, The Body Shop and Comic Relief.

It is a syndicate with about , members. Divine has now been partly sold, and has been majority owned by German chocolate manufacturer Ludwig Weinrich since Divine points out that Kuapa still receives a share of dividends, and still has two representatives on the Divine board. Therefore, we still think that it is a company worth supporting.

Fairafric is a German company that was founded by its CEO Hendrik Reimers after he had been backpacking in Africa. The company buys cocoa from farmers with whom it has long-term personal relationships and pays high prices.

Parari has the World Fair Trade Organisation mark. It trades directly with farmers in Ecuador, cutting out middlemen and ensuring that the producers see more of the final price. Manufacturers of chocolate receive a far bigger proportion from the price of a chocolate bar than growers.

In the past, the norm has been for companies to export raw cocoa from poor countries like Ecuador and manufacture the actual bar elsewhere — essentially meaning that the wealth from the chocolate is also exported.

Pacari and a number of other brands in this industry are reversing this trend. These provide a suitable migratory habitat for birds, while allowing farms to continue being productive. Read more about bird friendly approaches in our coffee guide.
