New certification requirement for cocoa and coffee producer organizations and traders

In March 2020, the Fairtrade International Board decided to implement a certification requirement for new coffee and cocoa producer organizations and traders, as one of several measures to deepen benefits for farmers. This certification requirement is being implemented concurrently with the stakeholder consultations on the Fairtrade Standards for coffee and cocoa, as a preliminary step while the full review and consultations can take place.
