  „Fairtrade Labeling Organizations International (FLO) is a worldwide umbrella of fair trade monitoring groups that issue labels to products meeting fair trade criteria. Before the creation of FLO, one of these groups, Transfair International, awarded the license to use the name Transfair to a group in the United States, creating Transfair U.S. This past May, Transfair U.S. received a grant from the Ford Foundation to help implement a consumer education plan. "We hope to have a coordinated national launch in the market by November 1998," says Transfair U.S. Executive Director Paul Rice.“
