Standards for Small Producer Organizations

The Faitrade Standard for Small Producer Organizations applies to small-scale producers that supply Fairtrade products:

Principles underlying this standard

These principles, which underly the Standard, apply to all small-scale producers certified by Fairtrade.

Members must be small-scale producers. The majority of the members of the organization must be smallholders who don’t depend on hired workers all the time, but run their farm mainly by using their own and their family’s labour.
Democracy. Profits should be equally distributed among the producers. All members have a voice and vote in the decision-making process of the organization.
