The global FAIR TRADE definition
Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, small and marginalized producers and workers – especially in the South.
