What is Fairtrade? Fairtrade is a partnership-based trade as well as the certification of goods that meet certain social, economic, and environmental standards. The purpose of this certification is to provide growers, employees, and craftsmen from the countries of the Global South (countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America) with the opportunity to subsist themselves from their own work under decent conditions. Under this system, growers receive a purchase price for their products, which corresponds to the costs of cultivation or production and at the same time allows a decent living. Fairtrade means not only fairer trading conditions, but also respect for human and labour rights and environmental friendliness.
