How to get started
Whether you are a large retailer, a small brand, or a producer, this section will give you an overview of our benefits and how to get started.
Get Certified
Whether you are a producer, trader, importer, exporter, or manufacturer, choosing to make your business more responsible while supporting farmers and workers worldwide is a great decision.
Certification means that an independent auditor will check your supply chain to ensure compliance with Fairtrade Standards. After you've passed, you'll officially become certified.
Get certified as a producer
Producers are at the heart of Fairtrade Africa – the reason we exist. If you are a farmer or worker, learn more about what Fairtrade Africa can do for your organization.
Become a Fairtrade licensee and use our mark on your products
Ready to label your product with one of the world's most widely recognized ethical certification marks? Before you can communicate to your customers that you believe in paying producers a fair price for the goods they work hard to grow, you'll need to become a Fairtrade Licensee.
