Fair Trade USA is a non-profit organization that leads third-party certifier of Fair Trade products in the United States. “Fair Trade USA enables sustainable development and community empowerment by cultivating a more equitable global trade model that benefits farmers, workers, consumers, industry and the earth. We achieve our mission by certifying and promoting Fair Trade products”.
“Protecting the environment goes hand-in-hand with protecting the future livelihoods of local communities. The Fair Trade model requires rigorous protection of local ecosystems and ensures that farmers receive a harvest price, which will allow them to practice sustainable agriculture”.
For every pound of Fair Trade USA coffee commercialized in the Unites States, social premiums are generated to carry out different projects aimed to improve the productivity and the quality of life of the producers.
