About Fair Trade...
Fair Trade is an international system of
doing business based on dialogue,

of monitoring, auditing and certification.
The international Fair Trade system is
structured to produce the following
outcomes for farmers and workers in
developing countries:

products and labour

practices

- Investment in local economic
infrastructure
