  „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.“

"Small farmers are willing to work season to season with only the hope to make a living."“

  „The Soil Association and Fairtrade Foundation announce a one-year trial project that aims to increase the range of Fairtrade and Organic foods available by simplifying certification procedures. It will also consider how the principles of Fairtrade could be applied to the UK context. Bruce Crowther of Garstang Oxfam Group said, "I hope that this action will bring the small UK farmer closer to other small farmers across the world so they can unite against the injustices of a trading system that has been at the root of so much poverty and suffering."“
