While this type of comparison may appear to be a simple way to demonstrate the impact of Fairtrade from the consumer’s perspective, it doesn’t actually address the real inequities in typical conventional market arrangements.<br/><br/>For producers, the value of Fairtrade is not about the relationship of their selling price to that of the finished product, but to their costs of production and the conventional market price. There are also many complex and variable factors to take into account in comparing different elements of the final price paid by consumers which can be misleading. For example, the price received by a cocoa or coffee producer selling to the conventional market depends on many factors including:<br/><br/>- fluctuating international market prices - the producer ‘cut’ from a chocolate bar will vary according to the international price of cocoa at the time of sale and the percentage cocoa content of the bar<br/>- whether the producer is an independent smallholder or a plantation worker<br/>- whether the smallholder/co-operative/plantation carries out processing or other value-added operations<br/>- whether a smallholder sells directly to a local buyer or is a member of a co-operative<br/>- whether the co-operative sells to local traders or to auction, or exports the product on behalf of its members<br/>- local trading conditions – these can vary greatly within a country let alone within different continents e.g. whether the industry has been liberalised or is state-regulated<br/>- the varying costs of production from country to country<br/><br/>Once the primary product is sold to a certified Fairtrade importer, the costs are similar to those for a conventional product – transport and export costs; shipping and insurance; import licences and taxes; ripening or processing; packing; warehousing and distribution; marketing and promotion and; retailer overheads.<br/><br/>The Fairtrade Foundation has no control or influence over commercial costs or margins.

This means they must be labelled and kept separate at every stage of their journey from the farm to the shop shelves. However, when we attempted to introduce similar rules for products such as cocoa, sugar, tea and juice, we discovered that there is very little physical traceability in the way these sectors work.<br/><br/>For example, the chocolate industry is currently not always able to keep Fairtrade cocoa and non-Fairtrade cocoa separate at every stage of production from the cocoa field to the final bar. Cocoa beans are delivered in bulk by farmers and routinely mixed during shipping and in the manufacturing process.<br/><br/>Rather than ruling out these sectors and losing Fairtrade sales opportunities for thousands of small farmers, Fairtrade has set up a system to ensure that manufacturers that want to use the FAIRTRADE Mark must buy the precise amount of produce they need from Fairtrade farmers that will be used in their final product. This system is known as ‘mass balance’. <br/><br/>So, if a chocolate bar uses 500 tonnes of cocoa, then the manufacturer must purchase 500 tonnes of cocoa on Fairtrade terms, including the payment of an additional $200 Fairtrade Premium per tonne. This means that even if the beans are later mixed with non-Fairtrade beans - as often happens - Fairtrade cocoa farmers still get 100 per cent of the benefits, and the better deal that the FAIRTRADE Mark stands for. <br/><br/>Our vision is a world in which all producers enjoy secure and sustainable livelihoods, fulfil their potential and decide on their future. We support farmers and workers, particularly those in lower income countries, to increase their share in global trade.

On top of this, they are increasingly on the front line of climate disaster, and the marginalised are often hit hardest by problems they did not cause.

A recent study on coffee and climate disaster by Le BASIC has shown that fair trading practices improve producers’ livelihoods by ensuring they receive a higher share of value created in the supply chain, helping to significantly mitigate environmental and societal costs borne by producer communities in the Global South. Trade justice is therefore a vital step towards achieving climate justice; prioritising the needs of small-scale farmers and taking into account their increased vulnerabilities.<br/><br/>However, Fairtrade alone cannot meet the scale of the challenges posed by climate emergencies and the inequality in value chains; the current global economic system urgently needs to be transformed.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/what-is-fairtrade/faqs/#faq-question-1593792567982","position":23,"url":"https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/what-is-fairtrade/faqs/#faq-question-1593792567982","name":"Can buying Fairtrade products help to tackle the climate crisis?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Fairtrade mainly certifies small-scale farmers who sign up to rigorous standards, which include environmental criteria such as, protecting the natural environment, banning the use of harmful pesticides, minimising the use of energy, especially from non-renewable sources, and making environmental protection part of farm management. Fairtrade also organises training for farmers so they can learn how to grow in harmony with the local environment and avoid creating monocultures. Many producers also invest their <a href=\"https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/What-is-Fairtrade/What-Fairtrade-does/Fairtrade-Premium\">Fairtrade Premium</a> – the extra money they get for selling on Fairtrade terms – in various projects aimed at restoring natural areas or reforestation. Fairtrade is a choice for nature, and a way of farming that safeguards both humans and the environment.<br/><br/>By choosing Fairtrade, shoppers in the UK are ensuring that farmers and workers receive a Fairtrade Premium to invest in economic, social and environmental products of their own choice. It means they can implement a range of environmental protection programmes which contribute to the range of solutions needed to mitigate against the effects of climate catastrophes and ultimately benefit us all. <br/><br/>To give two examples, tea workers in India have invested some of their Fairtrade Premium into replacing the traditional wood-burning heating with a solar-panelled system. Coffee farmers in Costa Rica have used the Premium to replant trees to prevent soil erosion and have invested in environmentally friendly ovens, fuelled by recycled coffee hulls and the dried shells of macadamia nuts. This means that they no longer need to cut forest trees and so can preserve the rainforest and the oxygen they produce.<br/><br/>By choosing Fairtrade products, you can help farmers and workers preserve their own environment and allow them to have a positive social benefit in their community.<br/><br/>Climate disasters hit farmers in lower income countries hardest.

What is the Fairtrade Foundation's response?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Buy both! We recognise that many farmers in the UK face similar issues to farmers elsewhere, not least ensuring that they get a fair return for upholding decent social and environmental standards in their production. We therefore support the promotion of sustainable production for UK farmers but our specific role will continue to be supporting farmers from lower income countries.<br/><br/>Fairtrade isn’t in competition with UK farmers and buying local and buying Fairtrade need not be mutually exclusive. Fairtrade focuses mainly on products such as coffee and bananas that can’t be grown in temperate climates or products that can’t be grown in sufficient quantities in the EU e.g. grapes and oranges. For some items such as honey and flowers, local supply is not able to meet the total demand - it has been estimated that both UK flowers and honey account for less than one-third of the UK market - and so imports are necessary to meet demand. Other products, such as apples, are seasonal in both the UK and places like South Africa, and for as long as shoppers want to buy apples out of season, there is a demand for fruit from other countries. <br/><br/>Often the choice facing shoppers is not necessarily between local honey and Fairtrade certified honey but between Fairtrade honey and conventional honey imported from, say, the US or China. It is up to each person to weigh up these choices and shop accordingly.<br/><br/>Ultimately, it is up to each person to do what they see as being in the interests of people and planet. What is important is that we all try to make informed choices wherever possible. We are committed to raising awareness of ways in which buying products carrying the FAIRTRADE Mark is empowering and strengthening the future for farmers and workers in lower income countries.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/what-is-fairtrade/faqs/#faq-question-1593792637146","position":28,"url":"https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/what-is-fairtrade/faqs/#faq-question-1593792637146","name":"Can I put the FAIRTRADE Mark on my website or promotional materials?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"If your company or organisation is selling or expressly promoting Fairtrade certified products you can put the FAIRTRADE Mark on your website and promotional materials in accordance with our guidelines in our Promotional Materials Manual.

Cocoa beans are delivered in bulk by farmers and routinely mixed during shipping and in the manufacturing process.<br/><br/>Rather than not engaging with the chocolate industry and losing Fairtrade sales opportunities for thousands of small farmers, Fairtrade has set up a system to ensure that chocolate manufacturers that want to use the FAIRTRADE Mark must buy the precise amount of cocoa they need from Fairtrade farmers that will be used in their final product.<br/><br/>So, if a chocolate bar uses 500 tonnes of cocoa, then they must purchase 500 tonnes of cocoa on Fairtrade terms, including the payment of an additional $200 Fairtrade Premium per tonne. This means that even if the beans are later mixed with non-Fairtrade beans – as often happens – Fairtrade cocoa farmers still get 100% of the benefits, and the better deal that the FAIRTRADE Mark stands for.<br/><br/>Research shows that this is what consumers care most about: that every Fairtrade chocolate bar they buy helps deliver a better deal to Fairtrade farmers and workers in the cocoa industry.<br/><br/>Fairtrade’s purpose is to support farmers and workers in lower income countries to increase their share in global trade. Fairtrade’s stringent inspection and audit system is in place to ensure the amount of Fairtrade chocolate manufactured exactly matches the amount of Fairtrade cocoa purchased.<br/><br/>We have worked hard on our rules for messaging on packaging to reflect the new system, in line with trading standards and EU Directives. We also work with chocolate manufacturers to increase their purchases on Fairtrade terms with this arrangement. That is making a huge difference to cocoa farmers in being able to tackle the problems and poverty they experience.

hidden > <p>Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers around the world, but particularly in lower income countries. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices (which must never fall lower than the market price), Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the producers from low-income countries. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives. <a href="https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/What-is-Fairtrade/What-Fairtrade-does">Read about what Fairtrade does</a>.</p> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-qala-blocks-single-accordion" data-accordion-image-id=""> <div class="wp-block-qala-blocks-single-accordion__heading" > <h4 class="wp-block-qala-blocks-single-accordion__heading-title" > <button id="accordion-2ae06f42-button" class="wp-block-qala-blocks-single-accordion__heading-button" type="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="accordion-2ae06f42-content" ><strong>What is the Fairtrade Foundation?</strong></button> </h4> </div> <div id="accordion-2ae06f42-content" class="wp-block-qala-blocks-single-accordion__content" style="" role="region" aria-labelledby="accordion-2ae06f42-button" hidden > <p>The Fairtrade Foundation is the independent non-profit organisation that licenses use of the FAIRTRADE Mark on products in the UK in accordance with internationally agreed Fairtrade standards.<br><br>The Foundation is the UK member of Fairtrade International, which unites over 20 labelling initiatives across Europe, Japan, North America, Mexico and Australia/New Zealand as well as networks of producer organisations from Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. <a href="http://www.fairtrade.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Find out more about Fairtrade International on their website</a>.<br></p> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-qala-blocks-single-accordion" data-accordion-image-id=""> <div class="wp-block-qala-blocks-single-accordion__heading" > <h4 class="wp-block-qala-blocks-single-accordion__heading-title" > <button id="accordion-73f4a2fa-button" class="wp-block-qala-blocks-single-accordion__heading-button" type="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="accordion-73f4a2fa-content" ><strong>What is the FAIRTRADE Mark? </strong></button> </h4> </div> <div id="accordion-73f4a2fa-content" class="wp-block-qala-blocks-single-accordion__content" style="" role="region" aria-labelledby="accordion-73f4a2fa-button" hidden > <p>It’s an independent consumer label you see on a product that meets the international Fairtrade standards.

The Fairtrade price applies at the point where the producer organisation sells to the next person in the supply chain (usually an exporter or importer). It is not calculated as a proportion of the final retail price, which is negotiated between the product manufacturer and the retailer.<br/><br/>You can read a fuller explanation here: <a href="https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/legacy/doc/retail.doc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Retail pricing of Fairtrade products (download)</a></p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1593792378919"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Why isn’t the Fairtrade price calculated as a percentage of the retail price?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">We are often asked how much farmers receive from the retail price of a product sold on Fairtrade terms compared to the same product sold on conventional terms. While this type of comparison may appear to be a simple way to demonstrate the impact of Fairtrade from the consumer’s perspective, it doesn’t actually address the real inequities in typical conventional market arrangements.<br/><br/>For producers, the value of Fairtrade is not about the relationship of their selling price to that of the finished product, but to their costs of production and the conventional market price. There are also many complex and variable factors to take into account in comparing different elements of the final price paid by consumers which can be misleading. For example, the price received by a cocoa or coffee producer selling to the conventional market depends on many factors including:<br/><br/>– fluctuating international market prices – the producer ‘cut’ from a chocolate bar will vary according to the international price of cocoa at the time of sale and the percentage cocoa content of the bar<br/>– whether the producer is an independent smallholder or a plantation worker<br/>– whether the smallholder/co-operative/plantation carries out processing or other value-added operations<br/>– whether a smallholder sells directly to a local buyer or is a member of a co-operative<br/>– whether the co-operative sells to local traders or to auction, or exports the product on behalf of its members<br/>– local trading conditions – these can vary greatly within a country let alone within different continents e.g. whether the industry has been liberalised or is state-regulated<br/>– the varying costs of production from country to country<br/><br/>Once the primary product is sold to a certified Fairtrade importer, the costs are similar to those for a conventional product – transport and export costs; shipping and insurance; import licences and taxes; ripening or processing; packing; warehousing and distribution; marketing and promotion and; retailer overheads.<br/><br/>The Fairtrade Foundation has no control or influence over commercial costs or margins. And because the major costs of the finished product are incurred after the producer has sold the commodity, the return to the producer will inevitably make up a relatively small percentage of the retail price.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1593792413862"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Why do some products claim to be fair trade but do not carry the FAIRTRADE Mark? </strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Some organisations, also called Alternative Trading Organisations (ATOs), are purely dedicated to trading fairly and have been doing so for many years before Fairtrade certification was established. You can find these organisations listed at <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.wfto.com/" target="_blank">WFTO</a> or <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://bafts.org.uk/" target="_blank">BAFTS</a>. It can take a long time to agree new international Fairtrade standards, and for many of the products these organisations sell, there may not yet be standards available for their products.<br/> <br/>However some other companies make their own ‘fair trade’ claims without having the independent scrutiny of the FAIRTRADE Mark, or being part of a recognised network such as WFTO.

This is because production costs vary greatly around the world and prices for new products and origins have been set on a case-by-case basis. As the demand for new prices grows, the Fairtrade International Standards Unit is increasingly using regional rather than country-specific prices.<br/><br/>This means new prices cover as many farmers/workers as possible and avoid the need for new research into pricing for the same product every time a new producer group is identified in a new country. If production costs vary significantly in a region a consensus is reached between the farmers/workers and other stakeholders, in order to set a price that is acceptable for the whole region.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1593792501577"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Why doesn’t Fairtrade certify large coffee plantations?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Around 70% of the world’s coffee farmers are small-scale growers, and they face particular disadvantages in the market place. Fairtrade’s mission is to make trade work for marginalised or disadvantaged producers, and therefore there is a global agreement that the system should champion purchase of sustainable coffee from organisations of small coffee farmers explicitly. </p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1593792513225"><strong class="schema-faq-question">How does Fairtrade labelling work with composite products?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Many Fairtrade products, such as coffee, tea, flowers, sugar and rice are 100 per cent Fairtrade. However there are other products, such as cakes, biscuits, ice cream and chocolate, in which the ingredients are a mixture of Fairtrade ingredients not grown in the UK (such as sugar, cocoa, honey and vanilla) and ingredients sourced more locally from UK or European farmers (such as milk, flour or eggs). These are known as ‘composite products’.<br/><br/>To take account of this, the Fairtrade Foundation has developed requirements for where and how the FAIRTRADE Mark may be used based on Fairtrade International policy.<br/><br/>The main principles of these requirements are:<br/><br/>– 100 per cent of any ingredient that can be Fairtrade certified, must be Fairtrade certified.<br/>– Any product may carry the FAIRTRADE Mark if more than 50 per cent of its total ingredients (calculated by dry weight) are sourced from Fairtrade certified producer organisations.<br/>– If the total Fairtrade certified ingredient content is less than 50 per cent, the product may still be eligible if it has one significant Fairtrade ingredient that represents more than 20 per cent of the product’s dry weight. An example of a significant ingredient might be an orange juice drink made of 20 per cent Fairtrade certified orange juice and the rest water.<br/><br/>More information about product certification and these requirements can be found in the Fairtrade standards.<br/><br/>Download the Fairtrade International Composite Policy</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1593792531542"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Are Fairtrade products fully traceable? </strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">For most Fairtrade products including bananas, fresh fruit, coffee, flowers, nuts, rice, spices and others, the Fairtrade system requires these products to be physically traceable. This means they must be labelled and kept separate at every stage of their journey from the farm to the shop shelves. However, when we attempted to introduce similar rules for products such as cocoa, sugar, tea and juice, we discovered that there is very little physical traceability in the way these sectors work.<br/><br/>For example, the chocolate industry is currently not always able to keep Fairtrade cocoa and non-Fairtrade cocoa separate at every stage of production from the cocoa field to the final bar. Cocoa beans are delivered in bulk by farmers and routinely mixed during shipping and in the manufacturing process.<br/><br/>Rather than ruling out these sectors and losing Fairtrade sales opportunities for thousands of small farmers, Fairtrade has set up a system to ensure that manufacturers that want to use the FAIRTRADE Mark must buy the precise amount of produce they need from Fairtrade farmers that will be used in their final product. This system is known as ‘mass balance’. <br/><br/>So, if a chocolate bar uses 500 tonnes of cocoa, then the manufacturer must purchase 500 tonnes of cocoa on Fairtrade terms, including the payment of an additional $200 Fairtrade Premium per tonne. This means that even if the beans are later mixed with non-Fairtrade beans – as often happens – Fairtrade cocoa farmers still get 100 per cent of the benefits, and the better deal that the FAIRTRADE Mark stands for. <br/><br/>Our vision is a world in which all producers enjoy secure and sustainable livelihoods, fulfil their potential and decide on their future. We support farmers and workers, particularly those in lower income countries, to increase their share in global trade. Fairtrade’s stringent inspection and audit system is in place to ensure the amount of Fairtrade product manufactured exactly matches the amount of Fairtrade product purchased.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1593792549033"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Is buying Fairtrade products a good idea given concerns on the climate emergency? </strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Smallholder producers in conventional world trade suffer from volatility of prices and unfair trading practices. On top of this, they are increasingly on the front line of climate disaster, and the marginalised are often hit hardest by problems they did not cause. They contribute to global food security and to their national economies, yet increasingly farmers are now suffering through increasing crop failures, water shortages and natural disasters and this in turn is jeopardising the future of agricultural and artisanal supply chains.<br/><br/>The Fairtrade movement promotes a fairer model of trade, which encourages sustainable production and consumption. A recent study on coffee and climate disaster by Le BASIC has shown that fair trading practices improve producers’ livelihoods by ensuring they receive a higher share of value created in the supply chain, helping to significantly mitigate environmental and societal costs borne by producer communities in the Global South. Trade justice is therefore a vital step towards achieving climate justice; prioritising the needs of small-scale farmers and taking into account their increased vulnerabilities.<br/><br/>However, Fairtrade alone cannot meet the scale of the challenges posed by climate emergencies and the inequality in value chains; the current global economic system urgently needs to be transformed.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1593792567982"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Can buying Fairtrade products help to tackle the climate crisis?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Fairtrade mainly certifies small-scale farmers who sign up to rigorous standards, which include environmental criteria such as, protecting the natural environment, banning the use of harmful pesticides, minimising the use of energy, especially from non-renewable sources, and making environmental protection part of farm management. Fairtrade also organises training for farmers so they can learn how to grow in harmony with the local environment and avoid creating monocultures. Many producers also invest their <a href="https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/What-is-Fairtrade/What-Fairtrade-does/Fairtrade-Premium">Fairtrade Premium</a> – the extra money they get for selling on Fairtrade terms – in various projects aimed at restoring natural areas or reforestation. Fairtrade is a choice for nature, and a way of farming that safeguards both humans and the environment.<br/><br/>By choosing Fairtrade, shoppers in the UK are ensuring that farmers and workers receive a Fairtrade Premium to invest in economic, social and environmental products of their own choice. It means they can implement a range of environmental protection programmes which contribute to the range of solutions needed to mitigate against the effects of climate catastrophes and ultimately benefit us all. <br/><br/>To give two examples, tea workers in India have invested some of their Fairtrade Premium into replacing the traditional wood-burning heating with a solar-panelled system. Coffee farmers in Costa Rica have used the Premium to replant trees to prevent soil erosion and have invested in environmentally friendly ovens, fuelled by recycled coffee hulls and the dried shells of macadamia nuts. This means that they no longer need to cut forest trees and so can preserve the rainforest and the oxygen they produce.<br/><br/>By choosing Fairtrade products, you can help farmers and workers preserve their own environment and allow them to have a positive social benefit in their community.<br/><br/>Climate disasters hit farmers in lower income countries hardest. This includes people whose livelihoods depend on agriculture. Through the Fairtrade Premium farmers and workers have a little extra to use when harvests fail, or if they need to change to growing a different crop if the climate becomes unsuitable for the way they currently farm.<br/><br/>The International Fair Trade Movement called on the Parties of the UNFCCC at COP24 to recognise fair trading policies and practices as an important component of climate mitigation and adaptation strategies. <a href="https://www.fairtrade.net/fileadmin/user_upload/content/2009/news/releases_statements/FT_Movement_Policy_Statement_COP24.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read their joint Policy Paper, ‘Trade Justice: A key component of building smallholder farmers’ climate resilience’,</a> which outlines five concrete steps needed to urgently transform the global economic system so that it works for people and planet: transparency & binding regulation; financial support; farmer-focused trainings and technical expertise; investment into agronomical research; and tax justice.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1593792579253"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Are Fairtrade certified products also organic? </strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Not necessarily.

Many worry about the risks of environmental contamination and it has been argued that producer dependence on use of GM seeds could outweigh the benefits of the crops. <br/><br/>The Fairtrade system’s environmental standards and guidelines currently forbid the use of GM seeds by farmers, and encourage active monitoring in nearby fields. However, it may not always be possible for small farmers to prevent contamination from a neighbouring field, and therefore we do not label Fairtrade products as 100 per cent GM free.<br/> <br/>Read the Q&A on Fairtrade standards and Genetically Modified Organisms</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1593792606034"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Why doesn’t the FAIRTRADE Mark apply to UK farmers? </strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">The FAIRTRADE Mark was established specifically to support the most disadvantaged producers in the world by using trade as a tool for sustainable development. We do recognise that many farmers in the UK face similar issues as farmers elsewhere, not least ensuring that they get a decent return for upholding social and environmental standards in their production. <br/><br/>However there are also some major differences. For example, farmers in lower income countries often have little infrastructural support, social security systems or other safety nets available if they cannot get a fair price for their products. The Fairtrade Standards and the Fairtrade Premium safty net, are specifically focused on enabling producers in lower income countries tackle poverty through trade. If the Foundation diverted its attention from this mission, this could potentially end up diluting the benefits of the system for the very farmers and workers we were established to support.<br/><br/>We agree that the principles behind fair trade may provide useful insight into the debate on improving the situation for UK producers. However, the Foundation is not convinced that a labelling scheme is the right solution to the problems affecting UK farmers. A plethora of similar sounding labelling initiatives could result in confusion for consumers and undermine both the local cause and the global situation we care so deeply about. <br/><br/>Rather than yet another label, the Foundation believes a more rigorous investigation by government and the industry itself is needed. This should look into the causes behind the problems being experienced by domestic producers, so that more robust and wide reaching policy tools can be identified – to benefit all affected farmers and to reassure all concerned shoppers.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1593792621941"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Some people say buy local rather than buy Fairtrade.

We recognise that many farmers in the UK face similar issues to farmers elsewhere, not least ensuring that they get a fair return for upholding decent social and environmental standards in their production. We therefore support the promotion of sustainable production for UK farmers but our specific role will continue to be supporting farmers from lower income countries.<br/><br/>Fairtrade isn’t in competition with UK farmers and buying local and buying Fairtrade need not be mutually exclusive. Fairtrade focuses mainly on products such as coffee and bananas that can’t be grown in temperate climates or products that can’t be grown in sufficient quantities in the EU e.g. grapes and oranges. For some items such as honey and flowers, local supply is not able to meet the total demand – it has been estimated that both UK flowers and honey account for less than one-third of the UK market – and so imports are necessary to meet demand. Other products, such as apples, are seasonal in both the UK and places like South Africa, and for as long as shoppers want to buy apples out of season, there is a demand for fruit from other countries. <br/><br/>Often the choice facing shoppers is not necessarily between local honey and Fairtrade certified honey but between Fairtrade honey and conventional honey imported from, say, the US or China. It is up to each person to weigh up these choices and shop accordingly.<br/><br/>Ultimately, it is up to each person to do what they see as being in the interests of people and planet. What is important is that we all try to make informed choices wherever possible. We are committed to raising awareness of ways in which buying products carrying the FAIRTRADE Mark is empowering and strengthening the future for farmers and workers in lower income countries.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1593792637146"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Can I put the FAIRTRADE Mark on my website or promotional materials? </strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">If your company or organisation is selling or expressly promoting Fairtrade certified products you can put the FAIRTRADE Mark on your website and promotional materials in accordance with our guidelines in our Promotional Materials Manual.

Cocoa beans are delivered in bulk by farmers and routinely mixed during shipping and in the manufacturing process.<br/><br/>Rather than not engaging with the chocolate industry and losing Fairtrade sales opportunities for thousands of small farmers, Fairtrade has set up a system to ensure that chocolate manufacturers that want to use the FAIRTRADE Mark must buy the precise amount of cocoa they need from Fairtrade farmers that will be used in their final product.<br/><br/>So, if a chocolate bar uses 500 tonnes of cocoa, then they must purchase 500 tonnes of cocoa on Fairtrade terms, including the payment of an additional $200 Fairtrade Premium per tonne. This means that even if the beans are later mixed with non-Fairtrade beans – as often happens – Fairtrade cocoa farmers still get 100% of the benefits, and the better deal that the FAIRTRADE Mark stands for.<br/><br/>Research shows that this is what consumers care most about: that every Fairtrade chocolate bar they buy helps deliver a better deal to Fairtrade farmers and workers in the cocoa industry.<br/><br/>Fairtrade’s purpose is to support farmers and workers in lower income countries to increase their share in global trade. Fairtrade’s stringent inspection and audit system is in place to ensure the amount of Fairtrade chocolate manufactured exactly matches the amount of Fairtrade cocoa purchased.<br/><br/>We have worked hard on our rules for messaging on packaging to reflect the new system, in line with trading standards and EU Directives. We also work with chocolate manufacturers to increase their purchases on Fairtrade terms with this arrangement. That is making a huge difference to cocoa farmers in being able to tackle the problems and poverty they experience. But we need to go further.<br/><br/>The more we demand Fairtrade chocolate, the more Fairtrade cocoa beans the companies will be encouraged to purchase, ensuring more benefits to farmers and more sales of Fairtrade cocoa.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1593792695654"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Where can I get free samples of Fairtrade products for an event? </strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">The Fairtrade Foundation is unable to provide samples.
