How Fairtrade works

Fairtrade works to rebalance trade, making it a system rooted in partnership rather than exploitation. Fairtrade unites farmers, Producer Organizations, and businesses throughout the supply chain under this idea that everyone in the supply chain should experience the benefits of trade – starting with the farmers that have been historically left out.

Fairtrade also puts more money into the hands of farmers and workers through a unique pricing model, supports producers through local and regional expert networks, and creates demand for ethical goods in countries like the US.
