„In order to generate greater sales on fair trade terms for the benefit of many more disadvantaged and marginalised producers it was important to get commercial manufacturers involved, and to get fair trade into the supermarket where most people do their shopping.“

Fairtrade | About Fairtrade | Organic and Fairtrade
„Many producers seek to use organic practices, but Fairtrade does not require them to do so. This is because many of the most disadvantaged cannot meet organic standards, and not all will be able to sell their crop as organic, so they won't be able to benefit from the premium prices. Fairtrade does not exclude producers who are unable to meet organic standards, as its priority is towards the most marginalised producers.“

Three hundred people from over sixty countries met to exchange information, review policy issues, and in particular, discuss the strategic directions for Fair Trade. The Forum brought together representatives of Fair Trade producer and commercial organizations, licensees, national Fair Trade labeling organizations such as TransFair USA, and other organizations involved in Fair Trade.“

Fairtrade | News | Press Release
„“We are delighted that the poll shows the strength of consumer confidence in the FAIRTRADE Mark which is the only independent guarantee that producers receive a better deal,” says Harriet Lamb, executive director of the Fairtrade Foundation. “Shoppers clearly like the assurance of independent certification and monitoring that the FAIRTRADE Mark alone provides. The rapidly rising sales prove that consumers are ready to put their money where their mouth is, and to play their part in creating a fairer world.”“

„Development agencies recognised the important role that consumers could play to improve the situation for producers. By buying direct from farmers at better prices, helping to strengthen their organisations and marketing their produce directly through their own one world shops and catalogues, the charities offered consumers the opportunity to buy products which were bought on the basis of a fair trade.“
