Fairtrade | About Fairtrade | Frequently asked questions

  „Consumers can trust these organisations, because challenging poverty is their main purpose (see more about our partnership with Oxfam and Traidcraft ). However, some other companies make their own ‘fair trade’ claims without having the independent scrutiny of the FAIRTRADE Mark, or the interests of producers at heart. If you are shopping and see tea, coffee, bananas or cocoa products without the Mark, there is no guarantee that they give producers a fair deal.“
