What is Fair Trade?


The International Fair Trade Association (IFAT) is a global network of fair trade organizations, both buyers and producers, that work to improve the livelihoods and well-being of underprivileged people through trade.


"A trading partnership, based on DIALOGUE, TRANSPARENCY and RESPECT that seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the right of marginalized producers and workers-especially in the South."
