The Fairtrade Label means:

Production conditions:

• Small scale farmers can participate in a democratic cooperative
• Plantation and factory workers can participate in trade union activities and have decent wages, housing, health, and safety standards
• No forced or child labor is used.
• Programs in place to improve environmental sustainability

Trading relations:

• A price that covers the cost of production
• A social premium to improve conditions
• Advance payment to avoid small producers falling into debt
• Contracts that allow long-term production practices

The FLO monitoring programs ensure that all trading partners continue to comply with Fairtrade criteria and that individual producers actually benefit from it. When you buy our coffee having this symbol, you've cast a vote for an agricultural process and trading system that leads to fair wages, good health for workers, safe working conditions, non-polluting coffee processing, no use of forced or child labor, and a fair price for the farmer's product.
