About FairTrade

FairTrade certification is a globally recognized standard aimed at promoting sustainable and equitable trade practices by ensuring fair prices, decent working conditions, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in developing countries. The certification is typically represented by a Fairtrade mark or label on products, indicating that they meet specific environmental, economic, and social criteria.
